To make India a developed country, collective efforts of all are needed. With the commitment and hard work of the youth of our country, India can be a leading nation in the world," she said.Murmu further said that the benefits of development must reach all sections of the society. If the living standard of those living on the margins is not improved, a country or society cannot be said to be truly developed.That is why the philosophy of 'Antyodaya' is very important which aims to bring the fruits of development to the economically, socially and educationally backward people, she added.During her speech, Murmu said the Central government has decided to set up a new circle of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) at Puri."As a daughter of Odisha, I dream of a developed, peaceful and prosperous Odisha.

Still, the fragrance of her motherland and soil is unique.
