Pandit Godabarisha Mishra's 50th birthday fell in 1936, the same year that Odisha became the first language-based province in India. Without a doubt, Pandit Godabarisha was a cornerstone of the then-Odisha state due to his hands-on commitment and influence in politics, literature, social service, and education. The English version of Ardashatabdira Odisha O Tahinre Mo Sthana, Pandit Godabarisha Mishra's autobiography that won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award, was translated into English by Zehara Jabeen. This book chronicles the political activities of the group that sought to establish an autonomous Odisha province, as well as the establishment and administration of the Satyabadi Bana Bidyalaya, the Utkala Sammilani, and the parallel initiatives in Odisha within the context of the national freedom movement.
