Mahapatra told that he was born in a poor family in Rourkela, Odisha and his mother was completely disappointed by his birth. Because she already had a daughter and she wanted a son but she got Sanjeeta as her daughter. In this way, she was an unwanted child and her family almost abandoned her, but her elder sister insisted on her parents, after which her parents kept her with them and then began the story of struggle.

Mahapatra’s childhood was full of difficulties due to the poor economic condition of the family and he had to depend on social organisations, teachers and scholarships to complete his education. Similarly, after obtaining a degree in Mechanical Engineering, he got the job of Assistant Manager in Steel Authority of India (SAIL). The family was then happy and also helped his parents financially to build a house in their village.
