It's on the news that Orissa will soon be known as ‘Odisha’ and Oriya, the language, will from now be referred to as Odia.So it's a great news actually, I love my state and thanks to BJD party for it's effort.
It was only on Thursday(21st Oct,2009), though, that the Union Cabinet gave its stamp of approval to the state government’s proposal for a much-waited name-change. The state assembly resolved to change both names in August last year(2008) in deference to the manner in which the name of the state is pronounced in the local language.
But this required an amendment to the Constitution in order to take effect. The proposed amendment is likely to be introduced in the next session of Parliament.
The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government in Orissa has been urging the central government to change the name of the state to Odisha. The state was spelled “Orissa” in the Indian Constitution adopted in 1950. BJD, though, espoused the view that this wasn’t the correct spelling for the name of the state. In the local script and language, the name of the state is spelt as it is pronounced: "O D I S H A". In Schedule I in Devanagari, the name of the state and its language is mentioned as Udisa and Udia respectively.
