Western Odisha Yuva Manch (WOYM) is a government-registered Charitable Trust working for the people, youth, culture, heritage and identity of Western Odisha — the Koshal region. WOYM is active across ten districts and cities including Sambalpur, Bargarh, Balangir, Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Nuapada, Nabarangpur, Sonepur and Bhubaneswar.
Every year, WOYM organises Nuakhai Bhetghat — a cultural homecoming for the Western Odisha diaspora at Utkal Mandap, Bhubaneswar — bringing together guests, cultural performances and the wider community to celebrate the region's biggest festival away from home.
Beyond Nuakhai Bhetghat, WOYM's volunteers work year-round on culture and heritage preservation, youth mobilisation, and community welfare initiatives across the region. A fuller account of WOYM's history and leadership will appear here once published from the admin panel.
