Addressing a gathering at a private university in Khordha, the Governor said Odisha needed young people not merely to inherit its future but to build it. “Today, I return with a simple message: Odisha does not merely need young people to inherit its future; Odisha needs young people to build that future,” he said. Kambhampati said the vision of ViksitBharat@2047 could become a reality only by converting the energy and creativity of young people into purposeful action. “Climate action is not only an environmental responsibility, but it is a responsibility towards human dignity and the future of our children,” he added. He stressed the 3 R principle, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, and Mission LiFE as essential to making sustainability a way of life.
