A special cover was released on 09.10.2009 to mark the 100 years of Satyabadi Bana Bidyalaya, Sakhigopal, Puri. The school(Gurukul) was founded in 1909 at Satyabadi near Sakhigopal, 15 Kilometer from Puri, by five well known social reformers of Orissa, Pandit Gopabandhu Das, Pandit Acharya Harihar, Pandit Nilakantha Das, Pandit Godabarish Mishra and Pandit Krupasindhu Mishra, which were known as Panchasakha. The School was visited by Mahatma Gandhi in 1921 and appreciated the pious environment and the dedicated teachers of this Gurukul of Orissa which was later termed as “Man making factory”. The cover depicts the open air classroom of Satyabadi Bana Bidyalaya and the Panchasakha. The cancellation depicts the flame. The cover was designed by Pradip Mohanty, Philatelist.
