Rairangpur 20 June 2026 Hello everyone, Zuhar and congratulations. Today’s moment is a golden moment in the history of Odisha. This historic day will be recorded as a glorious chapter in the history of Odisha. It is certainly a glorious moment for Odisha to have His Excellency the President, Prime Minister, Governor and Chief Minister present on one stage to celebrate a special retirement. First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I wish and congratulate His Excellency the President on his 68th birthday. On this occasion, I welcome His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister on behalf of the four and a half crore people of Odisha. Dear President, Your entire life has been devoted to the service of Mother India. You are the idolatrous symbol of sacrifice, service and surrender. Your quiet, simple life is a symbol of spiritual strength. Starting the journey of life from an unnamed tribal haunted village in this Mayurbhanj district to adorning the highest constitutional post of the country is not a miracle, it is your hard work, dedicated public service and your full faith in the constitutional system of the country. You are a great source of inspiration for women across the country. On this auspicious occasion of today, I wish you a long, healthy life and I wish you happiness and peace in the presence of Lord Shri Jagannath. Yashvi Prime Minister himself made your birthday even more glorious by being present. On behalf of all the people of Odisha, I express my heartfelt thanks to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. Dear Prime Minister, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your gracious presence on the occasion of the completion of two years of our government. You have been to Odisha eight times, starting from the swearing-in ceremony of the government, the completion of the first year and today’s two-year retirement. Every time, for Odisha, you have brought immense love and a lot of development. Your hope, your love, your support for Odisha is the biggest asset for us. A few days ago, your government at the Center completed 12 years of service, good governance and glorious days of India. I have no hesitation in saying, rather proudly, that the past 12 years have been an unparalleled period for the country. After 2014, all the schemes that you have implemented have brought not a few, but a lot of benefits to every section of the country. In a very short span of time, our government launched many welfare schemes- such as Subhadra Yojana for women, Chief Minister Kanya Vibitum Yojana, Chief Minister Kanya Sumangal Yojana; Farmer Samriddhi Yojana for farmers, Godabreesh Mishra Ideal Primary School Yojana for school children, Shri Jagannath Darshan Yojana for senior citizens and Ayushman Yojana for the citizens of the state.
