context_section_description: Shashi Bhusan fondly called as "Mantu" by his mother was born on 12 Feb 1953 to Madhusudan Behera and Harshamani Behera of village Nuapatna. Born at Jobra, Cuttack, Shashi's first school was his Patitapaban School, Jobra where he received his elementary education later he shifted to Nuapatna where he received his Secondary Education at Banguari High School. Upon passing the 10th Examination (which then was 11th Class Examination) he was admitted to Ravenshaw University for further higher education. Not a student with excellent scores but definitely a brilliant one with a vision. In a short span of time his leadership attracted many and he was regarded and respected by many of his fellow mates, who would look up to him for suggestions.
  During his early days of University he was attracted to the social justice movement and wanted to work for the poor and neglected section of people. And it is due to this that he was never attracted to the alluring jobs of his time. Working for the development of the fishermen's and the labourer's of different fields became his day-to-day activities and getting them to the mainstream society became his aim.
  On 10 February 1989, he was married to Suprabha Mohanty, who supported him in not only his profession but also took care of his family. He admits that its is truly said "Behind a successful man there is a women" and do credits his success to his wife.
  The political era in Odisha was going on for a major revamp, the beginning of Naveen after the super cyclone of Odisha can be seen.
