Sri Aurobindo Study Circle at Cuttack started in the year 1947 by the blessings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The movement grew and when Sri Animesh Samantaray, the son of Sri U.N.Samantray went to Sri Aurobindo Ashram for his education, he suggested the idea of bringing Relics to Cuttack. Sri U. N. Samantaray by the advice and inspiration of Babaji Maharaj and Prapatti arranged everything for the Lord's coming to this place. This is the only place where Babaji Maharaj was the Chairman till he left his body. He and Prapatti were solely responsible for all the activities of this centre.

On 8th August, 1988, the plus two section, that is the college wing (Arts) and on 9th , September, 2000, science section were started. It is only for Sri U. N. Samantaray, the founder secretary of this institution, this became a centre of Mother's Work in Orissa.
