FORMER SENIOR STAFF OF S.C.S. COLLEGE, PURI, BHAGABAT PRASAD MOHAPATRA IS NO MORE

I am extremely saddened to know that Bhagabat Prasad Mohapatra, a senior non-teaching staff member of S.C.S. College , has left for his heavenly abode on 6 th January 2021 at his home in Puri because of old age related ailment.I knew Bhagabat Babu since 1958, when I was an intermediate arts student in Puri College, A very handsome and nice person Bhagabat babu was ever smiling and was eagerly guiding the students many of whom were from rural areas.Bhagabat Babu left behind his wife , three sons Chinmayaranjan, Binayaranjan and Bibudhranjan and two daughters Rashmirekha and Smrutirekha , all of whom are well placed.

Bhagabat babu left for his heavenly abode at an age of 90.

His eldest daughter Rashmirekha was associated with me and Dhiren Patnaik as a member of Editorial Board of Daily Khabarakagaj, Weekly Tuesday and Monthly Odisha Industries before joining the Reserve Bank of India in a high position. She was also a good poet .

Bhagabat Babu was loved and respected by thousands of students, teachers and guardians of Puri.Praying God to rest his soul in peace under His lotus feet and give enough strength to his family members to bear the loss with heavy heart.
