Chennai: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday inaugurated the newly-constructed Odisha Bhawan in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.
The Chief Minister recalled his association with Late J. Jayalalitha and said that she was kind enough to provide the plot of land. He also recalled the foundation laying ceremony of this Bhawan on May 11, 2012.
He stated that Tamil Nadu is a prominent place in the cultural map of India and has attracted a very large number of Odias for employment, business and various professional engagements. “Similarly, a large number of Tamils have also been living in Odisha. And that together both communities have been contributing to each other’s growth. In this context, it was felt necessary that a facility is created which will not only provide accommodation but will also showcase Odisha’s art, culture, craft and facilitate public relations activity in the state,” he said.
The Bhawan has been built at a cost of Rs 22 crore and has state-of-the-art facilities.
