Honoring a Vision of Public Service
Speaking from the golden sands of Puri Beach, Pattnaik expressed that the sculpture serves as a message of appreciation from the artistic community for the Prime Minister’s relentless dedication to nation-building.
”Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been dedicated to public service for 25 years, driven by the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’. Today, the entire world has its eyes on India, observing the journey that began in Gujarat and continues with his efforts to build a developed nation as Prime Minister,” Pattnaik stated.
”Through our art, we pay tribute to Prime Minister Modi and his vision; we honor the dedication and service he offers to the nation, and we stand with him in this mission.”
