 What are the other advantages of this area? Why we must come together? Why such kind of initiative should be repeated? This is a thinking population. Just imagine the different part of the world. Civilization came up, civilized and vanished. But with all the challenges, with all the natural calamities, in this part of the globe, there is a population. Because for me, as a student of social science, there is one of the primary findings of my study. Because this part of the world, the people are thinking people. They always fight with the nature. They always find a way out. How can we survive? Survival instinct is to create them the new innovators. This is a thinking society. There is no dearth of natural resource. With mineral resource, with forestry, with water resource. With fertile land, there is no dearth of natural resource. There is no dearth of skilled manpower. You go to any part of the world, any part of this area. Any part of this area. I am, with the permission of our high commissioner, I am tempted to crushing the boundary of India. When we are talking about Purvadeya, Purvadeya cannot be envisioned without taking care of the economic interest of our neighbors. Neighbors, our reality, coincidentally, all our neighbors are in good terms with each other. They all are prospering. When I was in charge of petroleum ministry, our high commissioner was mentioning about high-speed diesel pipeline up to Parvatipur. This high commissioner, I am the fortunate administrator in those days. I personally took initiative, I had been to Bangladesh and we have finalized the agreement from Siligudi to Parvatipur, pipeline by Bharat Petroleum Corporation. I am grateful to Bangladesh. Bangladesh is providing a way to India for its connectivity to the north-eastern part of the country. We are getting tower access through, frequency access through Bangladesh to have a quality connectivity to the north-eastern part of our country. This is cooperation. Just remember a few days back, a few months back, one tourist cruise started its journey from Banaras. It went up to Dibrogarh, it is crossing through Bangladesh. This is connectivity. Whenever in the eastern part of, in the north-eastern part of India, we have to build a big project. We have to take cooperation of Bangladesh to cross over the big machinery through Bangladesh. They give permission to us. This is connectivity. If you go to Siligudi, you will find a square. The point is known as the square zero. From there, you will get a road access up to Sithwa port in the Kalidhan river, up to the Kalidhan river of Myanmar. It crossed through Bangladesh. It starts from Bhutan or Nepal. It connects Nepal, it connects Bhutan, it connects India, it connects Bangladesh and it connects Myanmar. If you go to any part of Podisha, you will find some remembrance of Rangoon. That means today's Myanmar. There are a lot of memories in the Bangladesh. Just as I was reminding our high commissioner, I am fond of Padmaar Ilchi. We all in eastern India, people are very fond of Ilsa Masli. But the best quality of Masli is from Bangladesh. There is a lot of connectivity, a lot of skill sets are similar. A lot of skill sets are similar. We have to work together. The values and ethics are also similar. This part of globe is a very highly valued, highly ethical society is there. Unless until the native society is ethical and highly value-based, there can't be economic prosperity. Yes, sometime the curve goes up and sometime it goes down. There may be a sliding down time in these days. But I strongly believe with collective effort, with collective wisdom of all of us, this part of globe is going to be happening point of economically and socially in 21st century. We have the strategic location, we are all in Bhuvaneshwar. The colonial ruler put up their center of governance in Kolkata because of strategic location. Whereas in the same zone, Bhuvaneshwar, Rappatana, Ranchi, Raipur, Vishakapatnam, just imagine, see their strategic points and see the ports, be it Vishakapatnam, be it Gopalpur, be it Paradeep, be it Dhamara, be it Haldia. These are the gateway to the different part of the globe. We have to join the dots. And there is a drive among these people, there is a market. We all have an ambition to create a productive economy, to create a productive economy, to create a manufacturing hub. We must, our youngsters are doing wonders. In India, more than 100,000 startups are there. In every quarter, a unique number is getting added. The Indian youths are, they have no new aspiration, new zeal they have. And this part of our country, our globe has a special drive. Friends, whenever if you go back to the history, there are a lot of examples. I am not going to the history, we can remember hundreds, hundreds of thousands of people We can remember hundreds of names starting from Subhashchandra Bose to Ravindranath Raghun, to Pandit Gopabandranath to Madhusudandas, to Vrishamunda. We fought for a cause. I am tempted to cite two examples, two names in the Sagespur. Then my idea of Eastern initiative, Puroda is in, we can understand. There is a Udaya gentleman, Saleel Mahapatra. If I am correct, this is Saleel Mahapatra. He is a hotelier in Mauritius, he is a hotelier in Mauritius. He is doing Saleel Panigraha, he is a hotelier in Mauritius. He is from Odisha, but he has successfully created a global benchmark in the service industry. That means we can do excellent things wherever we can put our mind. I am citing another example, Purnendu Chatterjee. Purnendu Chatterjee is a gentleman, whenever I get confused after meeting him, whether he is an industrialist or an educationist. He is a combination of both, he is a visionary. He has created a new benchmark in the petrochemical industry of the globe. He helps from the eastern part of the country. That means, if Eastern India people will get opportunity, then they can create global standards, global benchmarks. Friends, I am happy when Prime Minister is envisioning, we have to create yes, we have advantage of a demography. This part of the globe has advantage of demography. I am again and again ambitious, I am citing, I am quoting, that this part of country, I am this part of globe. That means, we all have a common aspiration. We must have a common goal also. Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and this part of India. 10% population of the globe. I am happy, this August workshop of two days will certainly ponder over these important factors, Purvodeya prospect is reflections on regional connectivity. This is no more regional connectivity. This regional connectivity will create impact in the global economy. All my best wishes for this two-day conference. Thank you, friends.
