==Literary life==
While he was studying at Ravenshaw college he was founder of a club called "Nonsense Club". He along with his writer friends of the club published a handwritten magazine called “Abakash” which was later renamed to “Shakti Sadhana”.
Kalindi Charana Panigrahi, younger brother, Bhagabati Charana Panigrahi, the founder of Marxist trend in Odisha, formed a group in 1920 called "Sabuja Samiti". Two of his writer friends [[Annada Shankar Ray]] and Baikuntha Patnaik were also members. They were influenced by the romantic thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://orissadiary.com/personality/writer/KALINDICHARANA%20.asp |title=Kalindi Charana Panigrahi |work=orissadiary.com |year=2012 |quote=Born on July 2nd 1901. Kalindi Charan Panigrahi belongs to Sabuja Gosthi |access-date=2 July 2012}}</ref> The word 'sabuja' was inspired from the Bengali magazine [[Sabujpatra]] published by [[Pramatha Chaudhuri]]. This ushered in a short lived but influential movement in odia literature called ''Sabuja Juga''.During the life time of this movement, he wrote seven poems for ‘Sabuja Kabita’. His other important works are of the period were ‘Chhuritiye Loda’, ‘Mo Kabita’, ‘Kshyanika Satya’.<ref name="Paul 2016">{{cite document | last=Paul | first=Padmaj | title=Aesthetic experience in Oriya poetry 1880 to 1947 a philosophical study of the major trends | date=2016-10-25 | hdl=10603/118472 }}</ref> During the 1930s the progressive Marxist movement was in full swing in Odia Literature.Sabuja movement later gave way to the progressive movement known in odia as pragati age. Later Kalindi Charana Panigrahi wrote his famous novel ''Matira Manisha'', being influenced by Gandhian thought.

He was for a period, the editor of English Journals, ''Bhanja Pradipa'' and ''Mayurbhanja Chronicle''.

Nandini Satpathy Memorial Trust Odisha India |work=snsmt.org |year=2011 |quote=She was the eldest daughter of Padmabhushan Sh. Kalindi Charan Panigrahi |access-date=2 July 2012}}</ref>

His younger brother Bhagabati Charana Panigrahi was the founder of Communist Party in Odisha. Bhagabati's great contribution for the Independence of India is underplayed in the history, because he was illegally imprisoned, and slow-poisoned by the British. His grandson [[Tathagata Satpathy]] is a politician and a newspaper owner who had been elected to the Parliament of India for four times. His great grandson [[Suparno Satpathy]] is a noted writer, awarded social activist and a political leader. He is the incumbent Chairman of SNSMT.
