CM Majhi Calls Children Odisha’s Greatest Treasure on Children’s Day
Bhubaneswar, Nov. 14: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday extended warm greetings to children across Odisha and the country on the occasion of Children’s Day, describing them as the invaluable treasures of society and the foundation of a brighter future.
In his Children’s Day message, the Chief Minister emphasised the importance of nurturing young minds through quality education, safety, and holistic development.
He reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to creating opportunities that enable every child to realise their full potential and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
Highlighting the vital role of children in shaping the future of the country, Mohan Charan Majhi said that investing in their education and well-being remains a top priority for the Odisha Government.
The Chief Minister’s message comes shortly after the inauguration of the state-level children’s festival Suravi-2026 in Bhubaneswar.
During the event, he encouraged students to embrace innovation and emerge as creators rather than mere consumers of technology.
As part of the government’s efforts to strengthen education, Majhi recently launched robotics laboratories in 807 schools, introduced the Nipun App, and unveiled Odia Language Scholarships benefiting thousands of students across the state.
Children’s Day is celebrated annually on November 14 to commemorate the birth anniversary of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was affectionately known as ‘Chacha Nehru’ for his deep affection towards children.
The Chief Minister concluded his message by expressing hope that children would continue to dream big, learn with curiosity, and become responsible citizens who contribute to a prosperous Odisha and a stronger India.
