In theyear 1965 he travelled to vijayavada of Andhrapradesh, where he contacted the “ Inter pass” to arrange printing in his script. At first the letters were prited by using stone blocks. But mistakes were found in some
letters. So mangai made some changes . In this time, a soura language book named “SABARAMKLAYNAMI” was published from “Swatatra Art press” of vijayavada.
Instead of printing the books outside , mongai took interest to publish them in après of own. At this time some personalities came forward to help mangai and offered donations.
Being financed by Nilanber sabar (Ghanatri), Bisa sabar (Adlasa), suku sabar,(Bamuri Dangar), Narasingha sabar (Dambsara),and pechang sabar (Dambsara),mangai left for srikakulamin 1996 to purchased a printing machine. At last he purchased an old printing machine from “Rama press”. But, he could not get the licence to start his own press. Still Mangai did nat lose patience. Later , in the year 1972 -73 , he got alicence pechang sabar donated a piece of land at Dombasara to establish the press . At first only latters were printed. Then starting from primers , religious books and history books were also printed. In total 23ks were prited and the writer of all the books was momgel, published books were distributed among the soura people. Free of cost. Publication of all these books in their own language evoked new thinking , new consciousness in them. In the year 1976, for the first time a sora school was established in Marichaguda village . it was named as “Matter Banom Bigyan prachar asharam” . later on many established in different soura villages . Many educated souras tought there honorarily. All the souras came out with a great joy for the sake of development of their own religion. Many school were also opened not only Orissa but also in different parts of neighbouring state Andhra Pradesh.
