Gangadhar Meher University (GMU), Sambalpur came into existence on the 30th May 2015 as a unitary institution of higher learning [The Government of Odisha Order No.11598/HE Dated 30.05.2015]. That was a momentous event for the people and student community of the Western Odisha for the fulfillment of their long cherished dream and aspirations. The newly formed University replaced the erstwhile G...angadhar Meher College (Autonomous). Consequently, the entire teaching and nonteaching staff of the G.M. College were deployed to G.M. University and became the stakeholders of the newly formed GMU. This transition was indeed the crowning glory for an institution that had a humble beginning at its inception way back in the pre-independence era.
G.M. University has taken on the mantle from G.M. College (Autonomous) and is poised to take off to new heights of excellence in the academic firmament in the years ahead. The new entity started functioning from 30.05.2015 after its new incarnation. Prof. Sudhansu Sekhar Ratha, an eminent professor of Economics and a noted economist from Sambalpur University was appointed as the OSD, while Dr. Smita Devi, Reader in English and Principal of the erstwhile (Autonomous) College was deputed as the acting Registrar to oversee the administration of the University. On 27th April 2015, Prof. Ratha was officially designated as the first Vice-Chancellor of the G.M. University.
The University provides teaching and research facilities for running Undergraduate, Post Graduate and Research programs smoothly on various subjects. This University is serving to the needs of around 5500 students at present and rendering services to the society at large. Within a short span of three years, it has already made a mark in the academic arena by providing good quality education, conducting national and international level seminars and workshops on a regular basis under the dynamic leadership, long-term vision and missionary zeal of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Atanu Kumar Pati.
