The Institute of Mathematics and Applications (IMA), Bhubaneswar was established by Govt. of Orissa on the May 27, 1999. The founder director is non other than, my favourite teacher Prof. Swadheenananda Pattanayak, very much renowned and a world figure in his field. During his tenure, he led the institute ahead with his able guidance and leadership. He inspires all newcomers (like me) to delve into the world of pure academic research.
