During a rally in the state, PM Modi’s attention was drawn to a group of children who had come bearing gifts and mementos to see him. In a spontaneous and heartwarming move, PM Modi paused his speech and requested the SPG commandos responsible for his security to collect the gifts and photos brought by the children.

These projects, spanning various sectors including oil and gas, railways, road infrastructure, transportation, highways, and atomic energy, are expected to significantly boost industrial activity in the region while creating numerous employment opportunities. Furthermore, ahead of his visit, PM Modi paid tribute to former Odisha Chief Minister Biju Patnaik on his birth anniversary. Overall, PM Modi’s visit to Odisha not only showcased the government’s commitment to development and progress but also highlighted his compassionate and empathetic approach towards the people, particularly the younger generation.
