Bhubaneswar: The two-day international seminar on Santh Kavi Bhima Bhoi and legacy of Mahima cult started in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.
Inaugurating the seminar, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan spoke on how poet Bhima Bhoi’s philosophy and poems addressed the problems of the most vulnerable in society. “Bhima Bhoi and Santh Balaram Das played a leading role in reawakening the cultural and literary consciousness of Odia society,” he added.
