1928 ഒക്ടോബർ 22ന് കട്ടക്കിൽ ജനിച്ച മഹാപത്ര, 1949ൽ അധ്യാപകനായി ഔദ്യോഗിക ജീവിതം ആരംഭിച്ചു. ഒഡീഷയിലെ വിവിധ സർക്കാർ കോളേജുകളിൽ സേവനമനുഷ്ഠിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. 1986ലാണ് വിരമിച്ചത്. 1981ൽ 'റിലേഷൻഷിപ്പ്' എന്ന ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് കവിതയ്ക്ക് സാഹിത്യ അക്കാദമി അവാർഡ് ലഭിച്ചു.

2023 ഓഗസ്റ്റ് 27 ന് ന്യുമോണിയയും വാർദ്ധക്യ സഹജമായ അസുഖങ്ങളും മൂലം ഒഡീഷ കട്ടക്കിലെ ആശുപത്രിയിലർൽ അന്തരിച്ചു. പെട്ടെന്നുണ്ടായ ഹൃദയാഘാതമായിരുന്നു മരണകാരണം.
