Vice President Releases Book On KIIT & KIIS Founder’s Mother Neelimarani

Bhubaneswar: Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Friday released a book titled ‘Neelimarani: My mother, My hero’, at Raj Bhawan in Odisha capital.

Written by KIIT and KISS founder and Kandhamal MP Dr Achyuta Samanta, the book speaks about his mother’s struggles and how she raised her seven children despite poverty.

In his speech the Vice President said “When I was going through the book, I could not but feel enormous respect and reverence for a mother who fought every odd to singlehandedly raise her seven children. Despite abject poverty and lack of resources, she ensured that all her children got good education and became responsible citizens. I was moved by the account of Dr. Achyuta Samanta’s father’s death.”

“I am very happy to know that with the help of her sons, she turned her native village Kalarabanka into one of the first smart villages of its kind in the country,” Naidu added.

The Vice President said all the successful men and women should never forget their roots. No matter where you are, you should always remember your mother, motherland and native place. In the true spirit of share & care, we should help and support our brethren living in the villages. That is the way forward for building a better India, said Naidu

He also congratulated Dr Samanta for the noble initiative.
