Godabarish Mohapatra's main concern was with contemporary politics about which he wrote, mostly in poetry, in great detail and at times with pungent bitter satire. He founded and edited a journal called Niankhunta ("The Fire-fling") which ran for about 27 years (1938-1964) and quickly got itself established as the most important Odia journal of humour and politics. In 1957 he brought out a children's periodical, Tuan Tuin. Although most of the content was stories and poems, special emphasis was given to the promotion of social consciousness and scientific attitude. Some of his poetical volumes that may be mentioned in this context are "He mora Kalama" (1951), "Handishalare Biplaba" (1952), "Kanta O Phula" (1958), "Banka O Sidha", "Mo Khelasahi" (1958), "Kunira Hati" (1959), "Ki Katha" (1961) and "Desha Bidesha Upakatha" (1962), altogether containing hundreds of short poems. His two poetry anthologies - i.e., "Kanta O Phula" and "Utha Kankala" - were given the Odisha Sahitya Academy Award in 1959 and 1962 respectively. He died on 25 November 1965. A year after his death, his poetical work "Banka O Sidha" received the Central Sahitya Academy Award.
