During his illustrious political career, Das held several important positions, including Minister for Industries, Higher Education, Chief Whip of the government, and Chairman of the Balasore District Planning Board.

President Droupadi Murmu, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and other dignitaries have expressed their condolences.

Smt. Murmu expressed her deep grief and posted in her X, “I am deeply saddened by the passing away of former Odisha Minister Shri Ananta Das. He was a dedicated public servant. He did a lot for the welfare of the people of Odisha. I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved family, friends and well-wishers of the late Ananta Das”.
