Sahityarathi Laksminath Bezbaroa Smritirakhsa Samiti is the outcome of an acute sense of obligation towards restoration and preservation of the community resources valued with the cultural heritage and legacy. This sense of obligation brought forth an idea to form an organization for taking care of such an esteemed heritage connected to our culture and literature. This heritage resource is none other than the famous Sahityarathi Lakminath Bezbaroa’s residence at Sambalpur, Odisha which had been lying there for a long eight decade without care in practice from any circle.

In the year 2017 a group of students was taken to the site for performing some cultural acts under the leadership of Mr Rantu Deka, a social activist from Guwahati and Dr. Basanta Kr. Bhuyan, Principal of Gurukul Grammar Senior Secondary School, Guwahati. Having propped up by the guidance of the Sambalpur based historian and journalist Mr Deepak Kumar Panda, the group of students had been able to perform the Bezbaroa’s patriotic song ‘O mur aponar desh’ in five different languages namely Assamese, Odiya, Bengalee, Bodo and Hindi at the site near mighty Mahanadi. In the following year three members of faculty from Cotton University, Dr Maheswar Kalita, Dr Dhrubajyoti Das and Dr Ambeswar Gogoi visited Sambalpur to take stock of the present situation of the Bezbaroa’s residence. Their euphoria got vanished with the scene they witnessed inside the campus of the ‘Bezbaroa Kuthi’ (Residence) at Sambalpur and subsequently while coming back to Assam the trio tried for creating awareness to assess correctly the issue from all quarters.
