Union Minister Srikant Jena on Monday emphasised that the development in industrial and agriculture sectors go hand-in-hand in the country.
Jena said this while addressing the concluding ceremony of the two-day All Odisha lawyers’ Conference here. A seminar on ‘Industrialization, environment pollution and rehabilitation’ was held on the occasion.
Jena said the industrial units should be asked to take adequate steps not to create pollution in any form. Poverty can be eradicated through both industrialisation and agricultural growth, he said.
Keeping his view, former All India Bar Council Chairman Jagannath Pattnaik stressed on industrial growth in the State for employment generation.
Rajya Sabha member Rama Chandra Khuntia advocated that Odia should be used as official language in courts and the lawyers should make arguments in Odia only during the hearings. He requested the lawyers to adopt a resolution to this effect at the All Odisha lawyers’ Conference. The Associations general secretary Gyana Ranjan Mohanty read the report in the beginning.
The concluding ceremony ended with presentation of Chhou and Odishi dance and Jitendra Haripal’s Sambalpuri Dance Drama. Kalinganagar Industrial Forum and local business community sponsored the conference held at the Vyasanagar Stadium,
