We invite similar insights from other readers so that people can have a better understanding of various parts of Orissa and their needs<\/u>. In particular, we are looking for suggestions on institutions that can be or have branches in a particular region of Orissa, with proper reasoning given on why that institution is a good fit for that part of Orissa.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" size=\"2\" \/>\n<p><u><strong>Aska-Kabisuryanagar Area<\/strong><\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>1. In many parts of India  especially in Tamilnadu, People call &quot;ASKA&quot; for the name &quot;Sugar&quot;  but we Odia&rsquo;s normally call Chini \/ Sakar just copying the Hindi language  (probably).I believe, this needs to be awakened among all Odia&#8217;s about  the 1st Sugar Plant in Asia which is at ASKA. If possible, we need to  pass this information to respective Govt. officials for a documentary  movie on Sugar City-ASKA.<\/p>\n<p>Historical background  of ASKA relates to Sugar factory of ASKA which is Asia&#8217;s 1st Sugar Factory  build by Minchin Saheb in british time.This factory has its own name.Due  to this factory the Aska Town is known as Sugar City.Still many parts  of India(Tamilnadu), call sugar as ASKA.<\/p>\n<p>When one thinks of Aska  Cooperative Sugar Industries Ltd., many things come to memory, its history,  the pioneers in the field, the hardy local farmers, its workmen, the  dedicated bureaucrats, the support it got at highest levels, the institutional  infrastructure that helped, and how it over-come so with a back ground  of its heritage of being the story of Sugar in Asia and the place where  Asia&#8217;s 1st Sugar Factory was established in 1824.<\/p>\n<p>The jaggery mill which  was started in the year 1948 by the name &quot;The Aska Sugar Works  and Distillery Ltd.&quot; by &#8216;Biny and Co. Madras&#8217; which met with huge  losses for lack of supervision and other transport bottle-necks. There  after Fredrick Josheph Vivian Minchin, the Book Keeper of Biny &amp;  Co. purchased the said factory and with the new Sugar Technology obtained  from Germany designed and rebuilt the factory in 1856.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/askasugar.com\/\">http:\/\/askasugar.com\/<\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coopsugar.org\/history.php\">http:\/\/www.coopsugar.org\/<wbr><\/wbr>history.php<\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kalingatimes.com\/explore_orissa\/news_20080413-Gopalpur-on-Sea.htm\">http:\/\/www.kalingatimes.com\/<wbr><\/wbr>explore_orissa\/news_20080413-<wbr><\/wbr>Gopalpur-on-Sea.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><u>Thus, since Aska is known for Sugar city and having the 1st sugar Plant in Asia established in established in 1824, request to demand towards establishment of National Sugar Institute as like Kanpur or as like Vasantdada Sugar Institute (VSI), Pune. <\/u><\/p>\n<p>2. Aska is famous for Sanskrit    toll and college (Mac Micle Sanskrit College, <strong>Aska)<\/strong> since many    many years. I believe, state govt can open a branch of Shri Jagannath <strong>   Sanskrit<\/strong> Vishvavidyalaya (Puri) to the right fit to this location.    Presently Aska is having a Sanskrit school and College which can be    upgraded.<\/p>\n<p>3. Aska is known for 1st industrial    town in Ganjam district having Sugar Industry and Spinning Mill. State    govt should demand for opening a central school on this locality. The    best choice for opening central school will be at Hinjilicut as it is    center place&nbsp; between Aska and Berhampur (15 km on each side)<\/p>\n<p>4. In the last railway budget,    Railway Survey has been granted for the route Berhampur to Sambalpur    which needs to be expedited as it is passing through the region of Aska,    Bhanjanagar, Kandhamal district etc.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" size=\"2\" \/>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong><u>Bhanjanagar- Belaguntha  Area: <\/u><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;1. As this is the main town in    Ghumusar region and no technical institute is nearby, state government    should open a govt engg college and demand to central govt for opening    a Indian Institute of Forest Management like in&nbsp; Bhopal.<\/p>\n<p>2. KSUB College is the oldest    college after Khallikote College in Ganjam district. This college should    be converted to a model college.<\/p>\n<p>3. Bhanjanagar is famous for    good spoken language as people say&#8230;And this town is the place of Kabi    Samrat Upendra Bhanja. State should consider Research center on Bhanja    Sahitya and Oriya literature.<\/p>\n<p>4. In the last railway budget,    Railway Survey has been granted for the route Berhampur to Sambalpur    which needs to be expedited as it is passing through the region of Aska,    Bhanjanagar, Kandhamal district etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following insights and suggestions are from reader Ajay Sahu.
