CM Mohan Majhi Calls for Simple and Meaningful Celebration
The Odisha government will celebrate the completion of its two years in office from June 12 to June 21 with a focus on public outreach and highlighting government achievements rather than grand festivities.
A preparatory meeting regarding the anniversary celebrations was held at Lok Seva Bhavan in Bhubaneswar under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister advised officials to organise the programme in a simple and dignified manner considering the current international situation and tensions in West Asia.
Government Achievements to Be Highlighted Across State
Instead of large-scale celebrations, the state government will focus on spreading awareness about its achievements and welfare initiatives over the past two years.
The Chief Minister stressed that the government’s success belongs to the people and therefore every effort should be made to ensure that the achievements reach citizens across the state.
To increase outreach, the government will use print media, electronic media and social media platforms. Booklets, leaflets and informational materials highlighting departmental achievements and welfare schemes will also be published.
