BIJU PATTANAIK COLLEGE, ANTEI

About Institution

The long cherished dreams of the educationists, organisers, social workers, Political Leaders and Freedom Fighters of the nearly locality of Village Antei was materialized on the 29th November 1980. Banabihari Yubak Sangha, Antei played a pivotal role for the inception of the Higher Education learning Centre – BIJU PATTANAIK COLLEGE which flourished with the local initiatives under the direct patronage of Mr. Biju Pattanaik , the great son of the soil. Further not being able to ignore the deep love and affection of the local people, he finally consented to be the life-long President of the G.B.. This was the first ever institution in Odisha to be christened after him.
The College is situated at the remote area of the then Patkura Constituency presently in Mahakalapara Constituency in between the villages of Antei and Pailo. The vast panoramic vista of lush green fields on either side of the murmuring rivulet Asrunkhala flowing by and the holo of blessings and benedictions radiated by God Banabihari of Antei and Radha Damodar of Pailo help immensely in heightening the sylvan, sublime and serene splendour of the location as a uniquely befitting abode of education.
