DESCRIPTION :

Choudwar College is located in th​e industrial town of Choudwar¸ 08 kms away to the north of Cuttack City. To its south¸ river Birupa and river Mahanadi flow down and the National Highway 54 and 5 run close by.
        
Choudwar has a mythological and historical background. legend says that the heap of earth¸near the Central Jail¸ presents the ruins of the palace of King Birat of the Mahabharat period but the scholars feel it to be a Buddhist relic. History reports that in the 10th century A.D.King Yayati Keshari established his capital temporarily at Choudwar-Katak.The famous historian Sterling reveals in his findings from the ?Madalapanji?¸ that the royal palace of king Yayati Keshari with its four gigantic gates is called Choudwar. Choudwar also has found a place in the poems of Radhanath Roy.The present township emerged in the early nineteen forties.
      
Choudwar College was established in the premises of the Kalinga Vidyapith in1968 to cater to the needs of higher education of the locality.It collapsed as a baby in 1971.Then with a renewed vigour and determination the present Choudwar College had a phoenix rise on 16th August ¸1978 with the admission of Kumari Anjana Swain under the leadership of Sri Rajkishore Ram.
