You know what would be hilarious? A scenario where Kafka ends up raising a Godzilla/Gojira. Yes, I'm still on a kaiju kick and just saw the latest Kaiju No 8 episode so why not?

It all happens at least 12 years before canon during a job. The latest Kaiju corpse was a digger class whose constant tunneling had severely damaged the ground so the Monster Sweepers were already walking on eggshells. Kafka was gathering a DNA sample until the ground collapses underneath him.

He falls into a hidden chamber where a single giant 9 ft tall egg stands before him. The item hatches covering Kafka in yolk as a baby Godzilla/Gojira emerges much to his dismay. He's at first worried about being a snack until the baby licks him and implants a larger fear. The infant had imprinted on him.

Little Gojira/Godzilla flees before rescue services shows up to rescue Kafka. The man doesn't mention the baby and lies saying he fell into an already hatched egg. Kafka thinks it won't be important as he prays the tiny kaiju forgets him.

NOPE! Not even a day later, the man wakes up to scratching on his apartment door. The baby came back and truly imprinted on him. Kafka doesn't know what to do at all. He's trying to join the Defense Force, which kills Kaiju, and having a baby one believing he is its parent contradicts the entire idea.

Kafka doesn't think he can snuff out Gojira/Godzilla's life and reluctantly accepts his fate. Thus the man commits one of the biggest taboos by raising the baby lizard. Gojira/Godzilla is a bit different from the kaiju in KN8 series.

He has no core and can't be tracked by the Defense Force's systems. An anomaly that earned Gojira/Godzilla the title 'Phantom Kaiju'. There have been calls but the Big G always flees before he could be properly identified.

While raising Gojira/Godzilla, Kafka often snuck him to the clean up site so he could eat off the corpses. He wanted to make sure the little guy was big and strong enough to fend for himself out in the wild. Kafka taught Gojira/Godzilla to avoid the Defense Force at all times while not being a hassle to any nearby civilians.

Even when his kaiju son grew to the size of a house, surprise visits were bound to happen. Kafka's bond with Gojira/Godzilla has grown to the point that they can understand and sense each other's presence. Something which drags the kaiju into the Defense Force's crosshairs once the man gains his powers.

(Our Kaiju is an adolescent during canon, 80 meters in size, as his fully grown size will be 120m. My personal take is a mix between 1993 Zilla and the current Monsterverse iteration because I'm very familiar with both. Grump with a side of little shit behavior wise.)

Gojira/Godzilla immediately tracks down Kafka upon his first transformation that fateful night. You can bet Reno wasn't exactly ready to find out his senpai raised a kaiju in secret for 12 years, much less the infamous Phantom. He was absolutely throwing out theories about Gojira/Godzilla being linked to Kafka's Kaiju form, which the man vehemently denies.

The man ain't escaping the Phantom Kaiju is Kaiju No 8's biological child theories though. Gojira/Godzilla gonna show up whenever Kafka uses his powers like in canon because their bond translates it as a signal flare. Think an emotion based Bat Signal to a giant Batman.

Gojira/Godzilla will retain their Phantom Kaiju title since he was never properly registered in the system years ago. The big guy is still associated with Kafka's kaiju form as he almost always shows up. Our dear himbo definitely working on that since he doesn't want his son to keep misinterpreting his transformation like that.

Kafka and Gojira/Godzilla are two disastrous peas in a pod who drags everyone into their insanity.

R.I.P. Everett Peck

Better known as the creator of Duckman, through the news of his passing I learned that he made character designs for Godzilla: The Series (though I haven’t been able to find specifics).

Thanks a lot, man.

G-Clone Project: Gojera/Godzerra (April Fools)

Subject # 4: Humanoid Kaiju/G-Cell endowed atomic mutant/ "Kaiju Girl"

(image by Witchking00)

HEIGHT: 80 Meters

LENGTH: 180 Meters

MASS: 50,000 Metric Tons

Based on a project suggestion by roboticist Dr. Hideo Shida, creator of the 'RoboMusume' anti-Kaiju weapon during his last days before his passing. In the aftermath of Godzilla's (II) rampage throughout Tokyo, not only the city was doused in radiation but the Monster King left behind samples of its body. "G-Cells", christened by Dr. Genichiro Shiragami, are a rare and dangerous commodity sought after by multiple governments, organizations, and special interest groups all over the world. After witnessing footage of Godzilla's battles against other Kaiju such as Biollante, Ghidorah, and Spacegodzilla; Shida suggested a Kaiju-sized humanoid made from bioengineering. The UNGCC Council was hesitant, remembering the doctor's unorthodox "Bride of Godzilla" mech, how it violated Japan's anti-nuclear weapons policy, and the near-disaster that would've destabilized both the Earth and Hollow Earth if it weren't for RoboMusume's peculiar self-sacrifice. To bring legitimacy to his idea, Shida explained that the subject would have the might and power of Godzilla, but with the mind of a human being.

Miki Segusa spoke up about her concerns over this idea since she advocated for Godzilla to be left in peace ever since he adopted a juvenile Godzillasaurus and the plans of Mechagodzilla, MOGUERA, and Project T failed. Not to mention this was three months after Spacegodzilla's attempted conquest of Earth, a Kaiju-sized human being made those of the G-Countermeasures council uneasy. But Shida replied the possibility of this supposed soldier being an ideal improvement over Mechagodzilla as a defender of Japan and a deterrent to Godzilla. Days after this meeting, select bioengineering scientists began with the 'G-Cell Project', moving their resources to France.

By 1996, Shida had passed away due to old age, and it seemed UNGCC was on the verge of pulling the project's funding. That was until the Baas Island explosion and Godzilla's emergence as "Burning Godzilla", a nuclear meltdown that would've destroyed the world. The G-Cell team found themselves free of oversight during the crisis, as the appearance of Destoroyah heightened the danger. But, the crisis has passed with Destoroyah's rampage stopped and G-Force minimizing the damage as Godzilla perished. But, his leftover radiation transferred to the supposedly deceased Godzilla Junior revitalizing him and maturing him into a new Godzilla (III). With the future uncertain, a breakthrough was made with the G-Cells, the project was renamed the 'G-Clone Project'.

The New Godzilla lacked its father's hostility to humans but, the UNGCC wasn't going to take any chances, as they heard reports of another Godzilla battling an extraterrestrial known as the 'Gryphon' in the United States, unaware that it was what Monarch classified as 'Titanus Gojira'. Then, the monster known as 'Zilla' escaped its holding cell in France and rampaged in 1998, causing complications for every government involved. Many questions surrounded the Kaiju's appearance, as the French contingent of the project had gone rogue. Fearing that their pet project, 'Gojera', would be discovered, they ejected a large egg onto an island that had leftover nuclear radiation from atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. The egg laid dormant for months, until it hatched, revealing an abnormally large infant girl...with dorsal spines eerily similar to Godzilla. The infant fed on the radiation, having an accelerant growth similar to Godzilla (III) until she reached maturity in 2003.

Unfortunately, like Zilla, Gojera, or as Westerners would refer to Subject #4 as 'Godzerra', escaped containment and made landfall upon the coast of Japan, much to the surprise of everyone involved in the battle and witnessed it. Though she slightly resembled a human being, she had the ferocity and aggressive demeanor of any Godzilla, what made it worse was the young woman's genuine malice and enjoyment of the destruction she wrought. It was evident that communication with Godzerra would be unwise, as she seemed to revel in violence. Luckily, the UNGCC had created another anti-Godzilla weapon, launching Kiryu against the Kaiju Girl. Though it turned the tides in humanity's favor, it was clear that something about the mech set her off. As things seemed to be in G-Force's favor, Godzerra bellowed a defiant roar, making Kiryu pause. Seeing the mech's eyes turn from orange to red, she looked down at the gathered soldiers with an eerie smile, as if she knew what would happen next and turned back to the sea.

"Reap what you sow."

-A scientist translated from the Shobijin when Godzerra 'spoke'.

In horrifying reality, Kiryu was built around the skeleton of the 1954 Godzilla that attacked Japan and was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. Some blamed a technical malfunction, others claimed that the Kaiju Girl's roar influenced the mech, and the Shobijin claimed that the spirit of Godzilla (I) lived within the bones. Overall, the latest anti-Godzilla weapon ironically caused more harm than Godzerra. After Kiryu ran out of power and was escorted back to G-Force, the UNGCC faced intense backlash internationally. Dr. Ishiro Serizawa of Monarch demanded answers, for both the explanation revolving around Kiryu's existence and Godzerra, the latter being verily outside of the Natural Order Monarch had studied for years. Many bioengineer scientists and researchers were questioned, as they could face jail time. Unfortunately, Godzerra resurfaced in Tokyo Bay, demolishing G-Force forces. As the Kaiju Girl marched closer and closer to the city center, the UNGCC Council and the Prime Minister had no choice but to launch Kiryu, believing whatever caused its malfunction was fixed.

The latest Mechagodzilla encountered the Kaiju Girl, resulting in an intense battle, appearing equally matched. Despite Godzerra's mixture of brute strength and human-like strategy, Kiryu gained the upper hand, wounding the atomic mutant with the Absolute Zero Cannon. While it failed to kill Godzerra, Kiryu did expel her, meaning humanity finally had a sure means of fighting back against any Kaiju. But, one year after the battle, Mothra returned to Earth, the Shobijin warning that the first Godzilla's bones must return to the sea for it was blasphemous to use them as a weapon. Takaaki Aso, former G-Force commander and the Prime Minister at the time, stated that too many resources had been sunk to scrap the project now. But, the Shobijin ensured that Mothra would defeat the atomic clone, despite Aso's doubts and remembering the 1992 battle against Godzilla (II) that claimed Battra's life. Soon, Godzerra returned to Tokyo, heading for Kiryu's hangar but was intercepted by Mothra. But, due to her time in space, the divine moth had reached old age; making her outmatched against the Kaiju Girl.

Unwilling to let Mothra fight alone, the G-Countermeasures Council ordered Kiryu's deployment; while Miki Segusa used her telepathy to contact Godzilla (III), fearing the situation's escalation. Despite being outnumbered, Godzerra proved to be a match for both the mech and the moth. Until Godzilla's arrival, who was curious about this being before engaging in combat. Despite the Monster King's strength and power, the Kaiju Girl lived up to G-Clone's original aspiration of creating a being to best their primary foe. Before she would kill the King of The Monsters, Mothra used the last of her strength to take the Atomic Breath for Junior, being set ablaze and exploding. Enraged at his 'sister's' callous reaction to the Guardian Kaiju's death, the saurian gained a second wind and the battle turned in his favor.

As the battle dragged on due to Godzilla's determination to avenge Mothra, G-Force units with Kiryu Mechanic Yoshito Chujo charged into the battlefield to repair the mech. With repairs completed, the Mechagodzilla joined Junior in the fight, turning an even battle to the favor of Earth's Defenders. But, Godzerra, revealing with cruelty, unleashed her own Atomic Pulse, unleashing Spiral Blasts upon Godzilla. Hearing the current Monster King's pained cries, the first King of the Monsters' spirit awakened within Kiryu, blasting the Kaiju Girl away. Unwilling to see such carnage between members of his species, despite the mutant's unnatural origins, Kiryu grabbed Godzerra and flew out to sea, sinking the two monsters in the Japan Trench.

The battle was finished but was declared a hollow, pyrrhic victory, with Tokyo in ruins once more, Mothra dead and Godzilla barely returning to the sea before collapsing due to his injuries, going into a healing hibernation. Finally seeing his grudge against Godzilla as folly, Aso ordered the Kiryu project to be officially scrapped and funding to G-Force cut in half. Since then, the UNGCC and G-Force are now a shadow of their glory days in the '90s and 2000s. However, the G-Clone Project secretly holds the DNA of multiple monsters, including Godzilla, to create more clones in case other Kaiju emerge. As for Godzerra, it took years for her to break Kiryu's grip, re-emerging in 2016, months after the rampage of 'Shin'. Godzerra had taken up residence on the mysterious 'Monster Island', isolating herself from the other Kaiju. Declaring the rather empty title of 'Queen of the Mutants'.

Mighty Ducks the Animated Series Headcanons

GOOD GUYS

Wildwing: Bi, Aromatic. Type, Canard & Tanya. His heart belongs to his childhood best friend Canard, but I think Tanya could’ve made him happy too, if you want to go that route.

Canard: Gay. Type, Wildwing. It’s always been Wildwing. He thinks he’s being subtle but everyone can see it, except Wildwing of course.🙄😑🤷🏻‍♀️

Nosedive: Straight, but open minded if the right guy came along. Type, he thinks it’s “gorgeous and sexy” (typical teenage boy), but it’s really “fun and quirky”. So basically thinks it’s Lucretia when it’s actually Tanya lol. For guys, someone caring and wise like Duke or Grin, but they’re too old for him, so they’re just friends.

Duke: Pan with a female preference. I blame Falcone for scaring him emotionally and making him hesitant to try men again. He is a little attracted to Wildwing but there’s the age difference and the whole he’s the leader thing, it’d be too much drama.

Tanya: Same scenario as Duke, Pan with a preference for males, because Lucretia messed with her head and heart so badly in the past. She keeps herself busy so she has an excuse not to try again.

Grin: Ace. Ace-est of the Ace. King of Aces. Ace-Zilla. Mountain of Ace. You get the idea.

Mallory: Straight as she shoots. I like to think she had a little crush on Canard back in the day but it was really just misinterpreted respect and admiration. She’s subconsciously attracted to “bad boys” (*cough*Duke*cough*).

Thrash: Pan, Asexual. In a polygamist relationship with his two roommates, one guy and one gal.

Mookie: Lesbian with a steady live-in girlfriend she’s been dating since Junior High. If they ever broke up, Mookie would ugly-cry.

Phil: Closet Gay. Not even the Ducks know. He dates but only when out of town and eventually all his relationships end sadly, because of his unwillingness to be open about them. He’s worried being outed will ruin his business aspersions (keep in mind, the show was set in mid to late nineties after all, things were even harder for the LGBTQA+ community back then, especially in California).

Captain Kleghorn: Straight, widower turned voluntary bachelor. He has lady friends he invites to important events and goes dancing with, but it’s very clearly a “just as friends” thing for lonely seniors.

BAD GUYS

Lucretia: Lesbian, but knows she’s extremely attractive to most people with an interest in females and uses it to her full advantage. Seduces for fun and/or profit. Curses herself for actually falling for Tanya, because that ship has not only sailed, it sank a LONG time ago.

Falcone: The term “Disaster Gay” looks like a tailored made suit on this fella. He’s still down to F, but Duke ain’t stupid. Not happening, nope!

Dragonus: Gay. I mean, come on! Tim Curry is his voice actor, that accent is too delicious to waste on Heterosexuality lol. Dragonus was extremely popular on his homeworld but his egotism and violent streak ruined all his relationships.

Wrath: Ace by choice. Tony Jay made him sound just so done with the universe in general lol! I headcannon that Wrath is so old, he’s seen and done everything and has better things to do with his time than date.

Chameleon: Pan. I tend to think all shapeshifters are Pan. I mean, when you literally can become ANYTHING… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like to think he has a little crush on Siege, but the big bulldozer is too stupid to notice, and Chameleon is ok with that.

Siege: Straight, but he’s an idiot, so he’s got no game.😛

SHIPS

Wildwing/Canard. They’ve been in love since they were Ducklings, but both we’re afraid of ruining their friendship, so they dated other people. Eventually they got themselves in a row (get it? Because they’re Ducks? 🦆😜) and end up together. No one is surprised.🙄😑😅 Ship names preference is Team Captains, but I also like Leadership, always was a sucker for a good pun.😁👍🏼

Nosedive/Tanya: No one saw this coming, not even them, but it oddly works so well for them. Like an opposites attract kind of thing. Grin calls it “Karmic Convergence”, which makes protective big brother Wildwing very uncomfortable lol! 😅 Duke and Mallory are also protective of Tanya, whom Duke thinks of as a little sister and Mal as her best friend, so there’s a lot of “Shovel Talking” going on at first. Grin and Canard just try to stay out of it but privately approve of how the couple balance each other out. I’ve never heard a ship name for them, so I’m inventing VanderFlash, a combo of their family names, Vanderflock and Flashblade. It just sounds cool.🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Duke/Mallory: Blatant “Hostility is actually Mutual Reluctant Attraction” if I ever saw it. Practically canon. They, like Nosedive and Tanya, are opposites who attract, except Duke and Mal are chaotic lol! Again, I can’t recall any ship names. Please educate me if you know any really good ones💜😊😘

Well, perhaps a plot regarding the aftermath of Final Form Ultima screwing up the Godzilla Timelines be sufficient? After all, Fridge Horror/Logic comes into effect when you realize...

What the hell's gonna happen to all the humans & kaiju of those timelines now that their respective Godzillas are dead?

Showa Timeline may have to be dual-guarded by Jet Jaguar & Zone Fighter (since the latter canonically fought alongside Showa Goji from what I heard) to keep the peace.

Heisei timeline is almost completely fucked unless Rodan can raise Junior well enough to become the next King of the Monsters quickly enough.

Godzilla 2000's two parallel timelines may be better off, but there won't be a Godzilla to save humanity should a new alien threat come.

GMK timeline is better off overall with their Godzilla's death.

Kiryu's gonna have to deal with his son (Goji '02-'03) being dead, but at least Japan is safe.

The Xiliens can now conquer the planet with Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah due to FW Goji being K.O.D'd.

Shin's timeline is mostly better off, with things returning to normal, unless Shin left behind a piece to create a new monstrosity.

With both Filitus and Earth dead, the planet can slowly start to reshape itself, and humanity can bounce back.

Marvel goes on as normal.

R.A.T's timeline may be irreversibly changed.

Zilla Jr's demise may mean mutants can take over the Earth unopposed.

Gemstone Goji's death, while having been done after Gigan Rex got decapitated offscreen, means that Megalon can attack Earth unopposed.

Minus One's death would mean that the events of the movie is more in line with war trauma and possibly thinking that Odo Island attack was all a vivid nightmare.

From what we can infer from the original battle royale, MonsterVerse Godzilla was taken right as he was going to pull his Hollow Earth buster beam, so that means that Kong's gonna be facing Mechagodzilla alone, which doesn't bring anything happy happening later...only good thing that could come from it is Kong somehow winning, and kinda having to become a stand-in King of the Monsters in Godzilla's absence; alongside Mothra due to her status as Queen.

Essentially, everything in all these timelines are now so wrong and fucked due to Ultima going "Yoink!" and grabbing all these Gojirans without permission, robbing these timelines of their kings. Perhaps G.I.H may be the ONLY one left to fill the gap, but consider who he is as a person...it may not work well AT ALL.

Sucks to be everyone everywhere all at once! Nice job ruining everything for a gag, G.I.H!

Calling his sons "godzilla monsters, ‘zilla monsters or monsters" is SOOOOOOO Tony 😂😂😂😂 it's funny and cute at the same time

Oh, and "little stark or junior" yes yes yes 🥺 I can almost hear him saying that with a soft and full of love voice 🥺

Right❤️😂 He’ll probably very tiredly ask “What do you want, ‘zilla monster(s)?” when they’re jumping on top of him when he’s trying to sleep in late for once, or a very playful but stern “okay, little monsters” when they’re getting too rowdy in the lab or he’s getting tired of wrestling on the floor (and probably losing)

And I just love little stark or junior okay 🥺🥺 When he gets up because he’s crying or is getting him up and out of his crib in the morning, a very tired but loving “hey, junior/little Stark” is probably his usual greeting ❤️ or he coos it when baby is in someone else’s arms and is reaching out for Tony instead 🥺

From a Wasteland to a Temple of Learning

The Department of English at Ravenshaw University has a claim to be one of the oldest Post Graduate Departments in India. The department is set to observe its centenary celebrations.

I was a Post Graduate student of English (1982-84) during the diamond jubilee years of the department when the premier institution of Orissa was known as Ravenshaw College.

In fact, the college became a Post Graduate institution with the starting of M.A classes in English in 1922, a year after it was shifted to the present site.

In 1913, Nathan Committee of Patna University selected as site for the college a vast tract of wasteland – widely known as Chakrapadia where no one dared to walk alone after nightfall.

Yet, the British officers used it for horse racing and cricket matches, while women’s cycle races pulled more crowds.

On November 11, 1919, Lt Governor of Bihar & Orissa Sir Edward Gait laid the foundation stone to construct a complete set of new buildings. at a cost of Rs 10 lakh. The Maharaja of Mayurbhanj donated Rs One lakh for electrification of the new buildings and purchase of science laboratory equipment.

Architect A M Millwood came up with the design of the Ravenshaw college building. As part of the early buildings that came up then was the college main block (the Arts Block now) which included the large hall, three large class rooms (36 ft x 34 ft), thirteen class rooms (30 ft x 20 ft), twelve smaller tutorial class rooms in addition to senior and junior common rooms and administrative offices.

The science buildings consisted of three separate blocks, each including a lecture theatre and the necessary laboratories and located in the middle was a library known as Kanika library named in honour of Kanika Raja Rajendra Narayan Bhanjadeo who had donated Rs 55,000 for it. The buildings also included two Hindu hostels, one small Muslim hostel and a few residential quarters for the Principal and the Professors.

The opening ceremony of Ravenshaw College was held on April 5, 1922. The Governor of Bihar & Orissa declared it open after completing the proceedings of his Darbar with the Feudatory Chiefs in the College Hall. The Governor also opened the library and unveiled the portrait of Raja of Kanika.

When Ravenshaw College celebrated its diamond jubilee on January 18, 1936, the then Principal H R Batheja in his report observed: “We have at last a temple of learning, fair to look on, stately in proportions which compares not unfavourably with the only other template – The temple of Jaganath for which Orissa is known all over India. The twin monuments represent Orissa to the outside world and are a source of justice and pride to every Oriya”.

When the British occupied the Barabati Fort in 1803 there was no school or college in Odisha. Cuttack city had its first educational institution in 1822. Baptised as Cuttack School it was started by William Banptous and managed by the missionaries till it was taken over by the British government in 1841.

After upgrading it continued to be the only middle English school in the Orissa Division. It was named as Cuttack Zilla School when it was raised to the status of high school in 1851. It was converted into a Collegiate School in 1868, paving the way for establishment of a college in Cuttack.

Subsequently, the first college was born with the introduction of intermediate classes in the collegiate school in the same year. While in 1875 the school was named as Ravenshaw Collegiate School, its college wing was separated into a full-fledged government degree college in 1876 and named as Cuttack College affiliated to the University of Calcutta. In 1878 the Cuttack College was renamed as Ravenshaw College.

In the March 27, 2017 Bhubaneswar edition of The Telegraph a former Civil Servant wrote an article advocating a name change of the Ravenshaw University. An attempt was made to foist a debate over it. But there were no takers. I was then The Telegraph’s Principal Correspondent based in Cuttack. Understandably, no alumni would like to be robbed of the identity of being a ‘Ravenshawvian’.

Thomas Edward Ravenshaw was Divisional Commissioner at Cuttack from 1865 till 1878 when he retired and returned to England. Apart from being instrumental in introducing collegiate education Ravenshaw gave a memorandum to the authority for the establishment of the degree college.

But Lt. Governor of Bengal, Sir Richard Temple, agreed to the proposal on the condition that a contribution of Rs.10,000 was forthcoming from the public. The Maharaja of Mayurbhanj Krushna Chandra Bhanjadeo donated Rs 20,000 to fulfil the condition. It was on his insistence the name of Cuttack College was changed to Ravenshaw College in 1878.

The story of the Ravenshaw College with a campus sprawling over 87.4 acres has since been a classic tale – a sweeping story of Cuttack and of Orissa, that spans over one and a half century with its alumni virtually the Who’s Who of Orissa.

The Ravenshaw College Hall (now heritage hall) was the venue of declaration of Orissa as a separate province on April 1, 1936 where Sir John Austin Hubback was administered the oath of office of the Governor. On January 9, 1937, the first Provincial Durbar was also held in the College Hall.

The first historic Session of the Provincial Assembly was held in the Ravenshaw College Hall, Cuttack on July 28, 1937. The Assembly had altogether 10 sessions with 188 sitting days in all till it was dissolved on September 14, 1945. The election for the Second Provincial Assembly was held under limited franchise from April 4 to April 9, 1946. The newly elected members were administered oath on May 27, 1946 and the Assembly met for its First Session on the same day in the College Hall. Thereafter, it housed the State’s Legislative Assembly up to even after Independence till it was shifted to Bhubaneswar as the new capital.

The college originally was affiliated to Calcutta University and, thereafter to Patna University in 1917 and was finally affiliated to Utkal University in 1943. Utkal University began functioning from the college campus itself till its campus came up in Bhubaneswar in 1963.

Ravenshaw College observed its centenary in 1968. The Government of India honoured it through the issue of a commemorative stamp in 1978. It was then among the three educational institutions in the country to get the honour.

Ravenshaw University figured in the Lok Sabha debates on February 12, 2021 with Cuttack M.P Bhartruhari Mahtab highlighting the need to declare it as Central University by the Union Government.

Ravenshaw was granted autonomous status in 1989. It was given special status of unitary university by the Ravenshaw University Act, 2005. But it has lost this special status since the repealing of the act by the Odisha Universities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020.

Today it has 27 undergraduate courses and 23 post graduate courses under nine schools having research facilities under PhD and DLit programmes. It has two centres for excellence – Centre for Environment & Public Health and Centre for Odishan Studies and four independent centres - Centre for Aurobindo Studies and Futurology, Centre for Translation and Digital Humanities, Centre for Women’s Studies and Centre for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

The University is set for expansion to a second campus spread over 124 acres at Naraj on the western outskirts.of the city.
