“We are in the process of collecting the artefacts from these tribal groups in the district to showcase them in the museum. We will add more items in future,” said Ramesh Chandra Behera, project administrator, Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Baliguda. […]

Spread over four hectares of land, the nature park, developed by the state forest department, houses a butterfly park, medicinal garden, 3D theatre hall and an exhibition zone for life-size wild animals and traditions of Kutia Kandh tribe.
