The term Affiliated Organization originates from oDiA samAja’s constitution. oDiA samAja is a registered organization in USA, with its branches in other countries registered under the same name.

It is conceivable that there are other oDiA organizations who wish to mantain their own identity but have synergy in some of oDiA samAja’s activities. oDiA samAja respects the decision to retain their own identity and in fact encourages it as a step towards enahncing oDiAtwa. However, it may be appear that the level of synergy in goals and functions is so high between oDiA samAja and the other interested organization that a closer tie up may be helpful.

A close tie up will facilitate united operations for multiple goals with longer time perspective. Such a relationship results in an Affiliated Organization. It may be noted that an Affiliated Organization does not create a hierarchy of any sort between oDiA samAja and the Affiliated Organization ; rather it is an equitable relationship for mutual benefits and help to work towards odisha and odias.
