Maintaining that his dream of developing the State can materialise only through participation of youths and students, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday taught a three — ‘C’ success mantra to students.
“Courage, conviction and commitment can lead to success in life. If you have conviction on any subject, proceed with commitment and courage. These three words are important in life to get success,” said Patnaik.
Patnaik was addressing a State-level students’ convention orgainsed by the Biju Chhatra Janata Dal (BCJD) here.
Urging the student mass to join his hands to take Odisha to new heights, Patnaik said, “Development of four crore Odias is the sole aim of the BJD. Development of all sections of people is being experienced. To further the development speed, participation of students and youths is necessary.”
On the drought situation he said, “We have taken a lot of measures to tackle the prevailing drought in the State. The farmer community has successfully tackled the drought situation this year. We all should tackle the prevailing situation.”
Stating that natural calamities are not new for the State, Patnaik said, “We have successfully faced natural calamities like flood, cyclone and drought for the last 15 years. We have taken a number of steps to meet the prevailing drought situation too.”
He hoped for a good Rabi crop this season. Biju Chhatra Janata Dal president Byomakesh Ray, Biju Yuva Janata Dal president Sanjay Dasburma, Higher Education Minister Pradeep Panigrahy and almost all other Minister, MlAs and senior party leaders attended the convention, in which about 20,000 students from across the State participated.
