New Delhi: Balijatra Dibasa and Odissi Dibasa can be declared, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi while attending the Odisha Parba 2024 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Sunday.

The Prime Minister began his address to the participants with the salutation of Jai Jagannath and greeted everyone in Odia. He continued to praise the State and people of the State for the potential they have.

“…We have to take innovative steps to make the world know about the each identity of Odisha.
