Odisha Human Rights Council: A Voice for the Voiceless Led by the Selfless Human Rights Defender, Mr. Rajendra Mallick
Bhubaneswar: In an era where human rights violations are too often overlooked or ignored, the Odisha Human Rights Council (OHRC) stands tall as a beacon of justice, accountability, and compassion. At the forefront of this mission is Mr. Rajendra Mallick, a selfless human rights defender whose unwavering commitment to the cause of the oppressed has inspired action across the state. Under his principled leadership, OHRC has brought attention to some of the most urgent and neglected issues affecting the people of Odisha. Through a series of public interest petitions submitted to the Hon’ble President of India, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), and state authorities, the Council has spotlighted cases of custodial deaths, police brutality, ambulance and healthcare failures, displacement of tribal communities, student suicides due to institutional negligence, and environmental violations by industries. Grounded in the values of the Indian Constitution—especially the right to life, dignity, and equality—OHRC has become a platform for the unheard and the ignored. By conducting fact-finding missions, raising public awareness, and engaging in legal advocacy, the Council has consistently held institutions accountable and called for much-needed systemic reforms. Mr. Mallick’s selfless dedication and moral clarity have transformed OHRC into a trusted voice for the marginalized. His efforts have given strength to thousands and sparked a growing movement for justice and human rights in Odisha. “In times when others choose silence, OHRC chooses to speak,” says Mr. Mallick. “And in our voice, thousands find the courage to seek justice.” With every petition, every protest, and every plea for dignity, the Odisha Human Rights Council proves that a people’s movement, led with integrity and purpose, can awaken the conscience of the nation.
