Celebrating the spirit of freedom, together!

Odisha Rising Foundation celebrated Independence Day at its Bhubaneswar Headquarters with Smt. Swarna Lata Mishra, Chairman, MAN Trust, and children from nearby underserved urban slum communities.

A day filled with the Tricolour, smiles, togetherness and hope—celebrating an India where every child gets the opportunity to rise. 🇮🇳

Happy Independence Day! | Jai Hind!

Grateful to be part of the Cognizant Outreach H1 2026 Volunteers Get-Together & Recognition Ceremony held in Bhubaneswar this Wednesday, chaired by the center Head, Mr. Satish Kumar Pradhan. 💙

Celebrating the passion of volunteers, the strength of partnerships, and the impact created through diverse initiatives—from coding sessions for students and accessible tactile learning resources for visually impaired learners to beach clean-up drives and other community-led volunteering efforts.

It was especially inspiring to witness the confidence and empowerment of students from Raj Kishore Vidyapeeth, Arisal, and beneficiaries from Cuttack Blind School as they took the stage to showcase what they had learned—a true testament to the transformative power of volunteering and collaboration.
