Questions
Is this the same Gayatri Mantra that is sung in Hindi?
Yes. These are the same Sanskrit words, written in Odia letters so you can read them aloud. It is a transliteration, not a translation into Odia. The meaning of each verse is given in English.
How was the Odia text prepared?
We keep one checked Devanagari edition (Rig Veda Samhita, Mandala 3, Sukta 62, Mantra 10) and write it in Odia letters with fixed spelling rules, so every verse matches the original letter for letter. The English-letter line is the common singing spelling.
