The Thinkers’ Club here arranged its 94th webinar on unification of Odisha and the contribution of Madhusudan Das.
The meeting was inaugurated by former Justice of Supreme Court Ananga Kumar Pattanaik. Justice Pattanaik said Madhusudan as an advocate was earning a good amount but he spent most of his income for the cause of the Odia nation and died as a bankrupt.
Professor Dr Aaditya Kumar Patra was the chief speaker. He highlighted about the efforts of the Utkal Sammilani in addressing the problems of the scattered areas not annexed to Odisha. He expressed his grief on the lukewarm response of the local Governments to the problems of the Odia people. Prof Patra emphasized on greater seriousness and action on part of every Odia in the integration of the scattered areas to the mainland.
Professor Ajay Mohanty from Washington DC said Madhubabu was for agriculture based industries, rapid industrial activities, employment generation and education of females.
Scribe Kartik Parichha from Sadheikala said the people from the separated lands will whole heartedly support people of Odisha and the Government of Odisha, besides all organisations, working for the betterment of the people outside the State.
Dr Jaykrishna Choudhury was the observer of the meet. He said the nation should give proper honour to the sacrifices of Madhubabu.
