During the inauguration, Narendra Modi said that nature has bestowed immense gifts on Odisha. Odisha has seen many decades of hardship, but this decade will lead Odisha to prosperity. This decade is very important for Odisha. The central government recently approved two semiconductor units for Odisha. A semiconductor park will also be built in Odisha.

Your blessings are our strength. I bow to all of you. He said that a year and a half ago, during the assembly elections, the people of Odisha pledged to move forward with a new resolve: a developed Odisha. Today, we see Odisha progressing at the speed of a double engine. Today, once again, work has begun on projects worth thousands of crores of rupees for the development of Odisha and the country. A new avatar of BSNL has also emerged today, with the launch of BSNL’s indigenous 4G services.
