Renowned educationist Krutibas Panigrahi passes away

Bhubaneswar(By Abhishek Mohanty): Renowned educationist, headmaster of Gobindpur High School under Pipili Block of Puri district, a powerful orator — Krutibas Panigrahi is no more.
After living a long and successful life of ninety-eight years, he breathed his last on the night of December 3.

He was at once an excellent teacher, a good poet, a capable organizer, affectionate, helpful, and above all, a very good human being. 

Many students nurtured by him have earned great fame both in India and abroad. Even today, no one who knew him has forgotten him. Whether it was a festival, a wedding, a birthday, or an annual ceremony, he was always invited with great respect.

A personality like his — a leader, a friend, someone who helped everyone without hesitation, and above all, one with an extraordinary gift for nurturing students — is hard to find today.

Students, teachers, and the residents of Gobindpur village pray for peace to his noble soul.
