About Us

TheUtkal.com is an independent digital news publication based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.

We report on developments from Odisha, India and around the world, covering public affairs, politics, business, technology, sports, culture, lifestyle, entertainment and other subjects of public interest.

Our aim is straightforward: to provide readers with accurate, relevant and responsibly reported information, presented with clarity and context.

TheUtkal.com is independently operated by an individual publisher. Our editorial decisions are based on journalistic considerations and are intended to remain independent of advertisers, sponsors and other commercial interests.

Our Editorial Approach

We believe good journalism begins with verification.

We make reasonable efforts to verify information before publication and to identify the source of significant claims where appropriate. We distinguish factual reporting from opinion, commentary and analysis.

We do not knowingly fabricate facts, quotations, sources or events.

When a material factual error is identified, we seek to correct it appropriately and transparently.

We also recognise that breaking news can develop rapidly. Articles may therefore be updated as reliable information becomes available.

TheUtkal.com is guided by the following principles:

• Accuracy over unnecessary speed.
