'''Nandini Satpathy''' (9 June 1931 – 4 August 2006) was an [[India]]n politician and author. She was the [[List of Chief Ministers of Odisha|Chief Minister of Odisha]] from June 1972 to December 1976.

==Early life==
Nandini Satpathy nee Panigrahi was born on 9 June 1931 to [[Kalindi Charan Panigrahi]] and Ratnamani Panigrahi in a Brahmin Family of Coastal Puri but grew up in Pithapur, [[Cuttack]], [[India]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cENQAQAAIAAJ&q=Kalindi+charan+Panigrahi+|title=Cultural Heritage of [Orissa]: Dhenkanal|date=2002|publisher=State Level Vyasakabi Fakir Mohan Smruti Samsad|isbn=978-81-902761-5-3|language=en}}</ref> Satpathy's uncle [[Bhagavati Charan Panigrahi]] founded the [[Odisha]] branch of the [[Communist Party of India]]. He was a close associate of Netaji SC Bose.

==Political career==
At the age of eight (8) in year 1939 she was mercilessly beaten up by British Police for pulling down the Union Jack and for pasting hand written anti British Raj posters on the walls of Cuttack. The same was widely discussed at that time and it had worked as pouring fuel on fire for the struggle of Freedom of India from British Raj.

While at [[Ravenshaw College]] pursuing her [[Master of Arts]] in [[Odia language|Odia]], she got involved with the Communist Party's student wing, the Student Federation. In 1951, a student protest movement began in Odisha against rising college education costs, it later turned into a national youth movement. Nandini was a leader of this movement. The police force attacked the protestors and Nandini Satpathy was severely injured in the same. She was jailed, along with many others. In the jail she met [[Devendra Satpathy]], another Student Federation member and the man who she later married.

In 1962, the [[Indian National Congress|Congress party]] was dominant in Orissa; the Orissa State Legislative Assembly of 140 members had over 80 from the Congress party. At a national level, there was a movement to have more women representatives in the [[Parliament of India|Indian Parliament]]. The Assembly elected Nandini Satpathy (then president of the Women's Forum) to the [[Rajya Sabha|upper house]] of India's Parliament, where she served two terms. After [[Indira Gandhi]] became [[Prime Minister of India]] in 1966, Satpathy became a Minister attached to the Prime Minister,{{clarify|date=May 2012|reason=What does "attached" mean in this context?}} with her specific [[portfolio (government)|portfolio]] being the [[Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India)|Ministry of Information and Broadcasting]].
