The Odisha Society of the Americas of California(OSA-Cal) is the California chapter of OSA. This non-profit chapter is under the OSA umbrella, and its mission is to cultivate and foster cultural, social, educational, volunteering, entrepreneurial, spiritual and other aspirations of Odiyas of all regions of California including Northern California (Sacramento and northern areas), San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California (Los Angels, San Diego and southern areas). OSA was established in 1969 by a few visionary Odiyas who thought of establishing Odiya identity in the adopted land. The society was incorporated in 1981 in Tennessee as a non-profit corporation for promoting activities for a better understanding of Oriya culture and exchange of information between Odisha, United States and Canada.
