Bhima Bhoi was a popular poet, composer and singer. Humanity and liberation of the 
world based on the philosophy of Mahima Dharma were the central theme of his poetic 
creations. His assertion "mo jeevana pachhe narke padithau, jagata uddhara heu" (let 
my life rot in naraka if necessary, but let the world be redeemed) showcases his 
dedication to the upliftment of the societally deprived while being a clear reflection of 
socio-economic conditions in the State, during his lifetime.While scholars have studied 
the life and poetry of Bhima Bhoi, research chairs have recently been established at 
Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences - Deemed to be University (in April 2018) and 
Gangadhar Meher University in 2019, to research the impact of Bhima Bhoi's life and 
philosophy in Odisha.
