Former Union Minister Srikant Jena has hailed the decision of the State Government to donate 1 acre land and Rs 3 crore for construction of a Dharmasala for the Kulta Samaj in Puri.
However, Jena urged CM Naveen Patnaik to sort out various farming related problems of the Kulta community and provide reservation in employment and education for the community. He also urged similar boons for the other communities which are socially and educationally backward.
