Celebrating the 10th Foundation Day of Western Odisha Yuva Manch (WOYM)
“Years ago, the journey began from the capital,
where young hearts and voices rose in the struggle for rights.
Many stood against us, but the journey continued,
and today the name has grown stronger.
Blessed, blessed be Maa Samalei, blessed be Maa Samalei.” 🙏❤️

A Decade of Western Odisha Yuva Manch

On 26 August 2026, the Western Odisha Yuva Manch (WOYM) celebrates its 10th Foundation Day, marking a decade since the organization began its journey from the capital with a strong voice for the people, land and identity of Western Odisha.

Ten years ago, on 26 August 2016, WOYM was born with a vision of raising its voice for the rights and aspirations of the people of Western Odisha. What began with just two people has grown into a large family supported by thousands of people.

Over the years, WOYM has become more than an organization. It has grown through the hopes, aspirations and trust of the people, gradually transforming from a small beginning into a strong and deeply rooted movement.

From Two People to Thousands

Every organization has a story, but WOYM's journey is one of determination, struggle and collective participation.

From its early days in the capital to becoming a platform connected with people across Western Odisha, the organization has continued to carry the voice of its people.

The journey has included challenges, opposition and difficult days. Yet the commitment to the land and its people has remained at the heart of WOYM's work.

Today, as WOYM completes ten years, the organization looks back with gratitude while preparing for the road ahead.

A Renewed Call on the 10th Foundation Day

On this 10th Foundation Day, WOYM has called upon all its members to continue working in a disciplined and united manner for the rights and aspirations of the people of Western Odisha.

The organization also reaffirms its commitment to continuing its social service initiatives alongside its movement for the rights of the region and the Koshal statehood movement.

The message is one of continuity:

The struggle continues.

The service continues.

The commitment continues.

Gratitude to Everyone

WOYM extends its heartfelt gratitude to every person who has supported the organization throughout the past decade—with their love, cooperation, encouragement and trust.

The organization also seeks the continued blessings of its revered Ishta Devis and the elders who have guided and supported its journey.

The strength of WOYM lies not only in its members but also in the countless people who have stood beside it over the years.

Miles to Go

Ten years may be a milestone, but it is not the destination.

There are still many miles to go, many responsibilities to fulfill and many dreams to turn into reality.

With renewed determination, WOYM looks toward the future with the same spirit that inspired its beginning.

“We Care So We Dare & We Work So We Commit.”
