Our Values

Everything we do is guided by three core principles: Sangathan (Unity), Sanskruti (Culture), and Seva (Service). Together, they shape our mission — to celebrate Odia heritage, uplift communities, and pass our legacy to future generations.

Our Story

What began as a small group of Odia families in the late 1970s has grown into a vibrant national community. For over four decades, OSUK has been the bridge connecting Odias in the UK with their roots in Odisha — celebrating festivals, nurturing talent, and building lifelong friendships.

Our Events

From the Annual Convention and Utkal Dibasa to the first-ever Bali Yatra in the UK, our calendar is filled with opportunities to connect, perform, and celebrate Odia culture with family and friends.
