The operational base of Integral Education activity in Orissa are the centres named as Sri Aurobindo Study Circle. Such centres, each independent of the other, conduct regular studies of the literature of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The first two Study Circles in Orissa were established with the permission of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother in the year 1949 and 1950, one at Rairangpur(of Mayurbhanj district) and other at the residence of Sri Lalit Mohan Ghose, Bhasakos lane in the city of Cuttack.
