ଜୀବିତ ଥାଉଁ ଯଦି କାହାକୁ ଆଦର, ସ୍ନେହ ଓ ସମ୍ମାନ ଦେଇପାରିଲ, ତାହାହିଁ ପ୍ରକୃତ ସମ୍ପଦ।
ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ପରର ପ୍ରଶଂସା ନିରର୍ଥକ।
“If while you live you can give someone affection, love and respect — that is the true wealth. Praise after death is meaningless.”
His own words
ଡ. ମନମୋହନ ମିଶ୍ର
He taught English for thirty-eight years — at B.N.M.A. College from 1977, then Basudevpur, then Bhadrak Mahila, and finally Dhamnagar College, which he left in 2015 as its Principal.
Students who could not pay were taught anyway, and their college fees quietly paid for them. Education, he held, was service and not business. Generations of them still call him ଗୁରୁଦେବ.
Because he thought praise after death was worth nothing, this page is not praise. It is the record of what he did, and of the things being continued in his name.

Rayagada, Ravenshaw, Utkal, Magadh — and four colleges over thirty-eight years.
In his name
A book of seventy-nine pieces, and gifts to cancer care, a school, a home for the aged, and free knowledge.
