A group of intellectuals and educationists came forward with a mission to establish a college and dreamt of making it a high standard educational institution. It aimed at providing Higher education to the students of the remote area of Dhenkanal District Hindol Sub-division, mainly for the drop out students, who were unable to get the ray of knowledge. Consequently Janata College, Satamile came into existence on 9th August 1979. It is situated on the National highway No.55 in Hindol Sub-division of Dhenkanal district, Odisha. The founding stone of the college was led by an extraordinary and dedicated personality of this locality. The Ex-MLA, Hindol Lt. Mr. Trinath Naik and an eminent strong headed Professional Engineer Bhubanananda Pattanaik, of Dudurkote. The college progressed steading with a short span of time along with the efficient management of the successive governing bodies. Very often the college faced immense obstacle but never looked back. This institution takes a leap forward with the helping hands of Professor D.K. Singh, Department of Geography, Utkal University.
The institution made its progress and its presence became visible slowly and steadily. As a result the institution got its affiliation under Utkal University in Intermediate Arts on 11th April 1980 and Degree (UG) on 6th May 1987 . It is a co-educational institution offering Hons. courses for degree in both Arts and Science. There is a provision for internal assessment and semester exam along with seminar presentation, practical, project work, field work study tour etc. Being a rural based college it emerged as a primer centre of learning for the dominated SC, ST and OBC population from the periphery areas of Hindol.
