Conclusion


The genesis of the Odisha State Museum goes back to the year l932,
when two notable Historians, Prof. N.C. Banerjee and Prof. Ghanshyam
Dash of Ravenshaw College, Cuttack started collection of archaeological
treasures from various places.
The small Museum was then housed within the premises of the College.
In l938, by a suitable order, the Government of Odisha transformed this
nucleus into the Provincial Museum of Odisha and appointed Committee
of Management consisting of the Principal, the Head of the Department
of History and three other Professors of the College.

Maintaining close contact with the general public and the Archaeological
Department of the Government of India and other States, the Museum
continued to grow. In order to popularize the cultural exhibits of the
Museum, leaflets printed both in Odia and English were published in the
Samaj and the New Odisha and copies of the same were sent to officials
and the public to create a sense of awareness about the significance of
the Museum. As a result of this publicity, students and the general
public started visiting the Museum in large numbers. The teachers of the
History Department made sustained efforts to explain to them the
cultural value of the Museum and its exhibits.

The objective is to spread awareness among
the people about the Indian culture and
literature.
And also to give the idea about the palm leaf
manuscript.
