PM @narendramodi addresses #UtkarshOdisha – Make in #OdishaConclave2025; says,

-I have been told that this is the biggest investors summit in the history of Odisha - 5 to 6 times more investors are participating in it. I congratulate the govt of Odisha for this. 

-I believe Eastern India is the growth engine of the country and Odisha is an important part of it. When India used to have a massive contribution to global growth, India's eastern part had a huge contribution to that. Odisha used to be the main centre of trade with #SouthEastAsia.

-The president of Indonesia was on India's visit - he said that Odisha is in his #DNA. Odisha has a legacy that connects it to Southeast Asia. In this century, Odisha is again working to revive that legacy.

-India's economic expansion has two big players - first, our innovative service sector and second, India's quality products. Rapid growth is not possible only through the export of raw materials. We are overhauling the entire ecosystem, India is changing the trend as it is not acceptable to Modi.

-Research and innovation are needed in today's time. The govt is working to build a vibrant ecosystem for research and a special fund has also been generated for the same. Industries should come forward and work with govt, it is expected by all.

-You must have seen fabulous pictures of Coldplay concert organised in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. It shows that India has a massive scope for live concerts. Big artists from around the world are attracted towards India. I expect the state and the private sector to focus on needed infrastructure and skills.
