On this proud occasion of Utkal Dibas, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the people of Odisha.
This historic day reminds us of the glorious formation of our state and the rich legacy of our language, culture, and resilience. Odisha has always stood as a symbol of strength, enterprise, and self-reliance.
On behalf of the Orissa Small Scale Industries Association (OSSIA), I reaffirm our commitment to empowering MSMEs—the backbone of our economy. Our small industries continue to drive innovation, generate employment, and contribute significantly to the socio-economic development of the state.
Let us take inspiration from the spirit of Utkal and work collectively towards building a stronger, self-reliant, and industrially vibrant Odisha.
Jai Jagannath. Jai Odisha.
Smarajit Mohanty
President, Orissa Small Scale Industries Association (OSSIA)
