MuliaSmarak is a Personal Social Responsibility (PSR) initiative established by Dr. Damodar Sahu and his family to support the education of underprivileged students in Bellaguntha, Odisha, India.Damodar’s life has always been guided by the principles of hard work and the values instilled during his childhood. Born in the small town of Bellaguntha, India, he grew up in a loving but financially constrained family, often ‘without a spare rupee.’ These early hardships not only ingrained the value of hard work but also opened his eyes to the avoidable struggles faced by many students in similar circumstances. Inspired by these experiences, he founded "MuliaSmarak," a PSR initiative dedicated to supporting the education of underprivileged students in his native region of Odisha.ବେଲଗୁଣ୍ଠାରେ ଆବଶ୍ୟକତା ଅନୁଭବ କରୁଥିବା ଛାତ୍ରଛାତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ମୂଳିଆସ୍ମାରକ ଡଃ ଦାମୋଦର ସାହୁ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ପରିବାରର ଏକ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଗତ ପ୍ରୟାସ।ଉପଯୁକ୍ତ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଏକ ବିକାଶମୂଳକ ସମାଜ ଗଠନର ଭିତ୍ତି। ଏକ ନ୍ୟାୟସଙ୍ଗତ ଓ ସମାନତାଯୁକ୍ତ ସମାଜର ବିକାଶ ସହିତ ରାଷ୍ଟ୍ରୀୟ ବିକାଶକୁ ପ୍ରୋତ୍ସାହିତ କରିବାରେ ଶିକ୍ଷାର ଗୁରୁତ୍ୱ ଅସମାନ୍ୟ। ଗୁଣାତ୍ମକ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ସାର୍ବଜନୀନ ସୁଯୋଗ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିବା, ମେଧାବୀ ଛାତ୍ରଛାତ୍ରୀଙ୍କୁ ଭବିଷ୍ୟତର ଆର୍ଥିକ ବିକାଶ ଓ ସର୍ବୋତ୍ତମ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିବା ମୂଳିଆ ସ୍ମାରକର ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ। ଅର୍ଥାଭାବରୁ କୌଣସି ମେଧାବୀ ଛାତ୍ର କିମ୍ବା ଛାତ୍ରୀ ଯେପରି ଉଚ୍ଚ ଶିକ୍ଷାରୁ ବଞ୍ଚିତ ହେବ ନାହିଁ, ଏହା ହିଁ ମୂଳିଆ ସ୍ମାରକର ପରିଭାଷା ଓ ପ୍ରଚେଷ୍ଟା।ସ୍ଵର୍ଗତ ପିତା ମୂଳିଆ ସାହୁଙ୍କ ସ୍ମୃତିରେ ଏହାକୁ ପରିକଳ୍ପନା କରିଥିଲେ ତାଙ୍କ କନିଷ୍ଠ ପୁତ୍ର ଡଃ ଦାମୋଦର ସାହୁ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ପରିବାର। ୨୦୧୯ ମସିହାଠାରୁ ବେଲଗୁଣ୍ଠା ଅଞ୍ଚଳରେ ଶିକ୍ଷାର ବିକାଶ ଓ ସହଯୋଗ ପାଇଁ ଜାରି ରଖିଛି ଏହି ଅବିରତ ପ୍ରଚେଷ୍ଟା। ମୂଳିଆ ସ୍ମାରକର ଏହି ଶାଶ୍ଵତ ଚିନ୍ତାଧାରା ଗତ କିଛି ବର୍ଷରେ ଅନେକ ଛାତ୍ରଛାତ୍ରୀଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଚ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ଆର୍ଥିକ ପ୍ରୋତ୍ସାହନ ଦେଇଛି ଓ ପ୍ରତିବଦଳରେ ପାଇଛି ଆତ୍ମିକ ଆନନ୍ଦ। ଏହି ବୃତ୍ତି ଜରିଆରେ ଅନେକ ଛାତ୍ରଛାତ୍ରୀ ନିଜର ପଥ ସୁଗମ କରିଛନ୍ତି ଉଚ୍ଚ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ। ଏହା ଏକ ଏପରି ଛାତ୍ରବୃତ୍ତି ଯୋଜନା, ଯାହା ଦଶମ ଶ୍ରେଣୀରେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ନମ୍ବରରେ ଉତ୍ତୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୋଇଥିବା ଆର୍ଥିକ ଅସ୍ବଲ ଛାତ୍ରଛାତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଉଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ। ମୂଳିଆ ସ୍ମାରକ ବେଲଗୁଣ୍ଠା ବ୍ଲକ ସ୍ତରରେ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ସରକାରୀ ଉଚ୍ଚ ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟ ପାଇଁ ରଖିଛି ବୃତ୍ତି ଯୋଜନା।
