Biswanath Pandit Library was started in the year 1981 at Saheed Bhawan in Cuttack City and later shifted to a new building at Khannagar in the year 1998. The library has always been the desired destination for book lovers and researchers alike.
People from nearby areas also visited the library for its extensive collection of books. The library had been shifted to the Odisha Administrative Tribunal (OAT) near the Judicial Academy due to the construction of the Cuttack Netaji Bus Terminal.
