While the posts on the 5T Secretary’s Instagram seem to have a positive impact on the minds of millennials who liked, shared & commented in mass, some were happy to find the top government official on their favourite photo-sharing platform as they can now get latest updates on Odisha’s transformation journey.

In this fast-changing world, teens are always looking out for a change and something new. People hardly have time for anything nowadays, they want everything with a click of a finger and Instagram perfectly caters to this.
Facebook has been around for a long long while and is become more of a commercial brand promotion platform and you are bombarded with ads in every video you see. Instagram on the other end is a social photo-sharing channel where people can share high-quality videos and pictures just with their close ones.
Facebook is widely regarded as a platform for older people, such as older Millenials and up but Instagram is easier to access, looks cleaner, and is better organised.
It could be said here that connecting with the young generation has become easier with Instagram and therefore the 5T Secretary would have made his social media debut on Instagram.
