Bhubaneswar: The State Minister of Higher Education, Sports & Youth Affairs, and Odia Language, Literature & Culture, Surya Banshi Suraj, has won widespread praise for his inclusive and heartwarming governance. His recent initiatives have sent waves of joy from Mayurbhanj to Malkangiri.
The Minister has approved block grants for around 900 employees who had been deprived of this benefit for many years. This long-awaited decision has been welcomed across the state and is being widely discussed as a sign of his generosity. Like the sun that spreads light without discrimination—from leaves to the lotus—Minister Surya Banshi’s decision has benefitted everyone equally, from Group D staff to lecturers and professors, who had been excluded from block grant entitlements.
By formally recognizing their rights, he has brought happiness not only to the employees but also to their families. This
