THE key to successful socio-economic development lies in appropriate vision, planning, and implementation, which is evident from the life and work of Utkal Keshari Dr. Harekrushna Mahatab, said Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, while delivering a memorial lecture at a national conference organized by Ravenshaw University, the Odisha Research Centre and the Odisha Sahitya Academy to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Mahatab on Thursday at the university campus.

“You can donate eyes, but not vision. Mahatab had the foresight that shaped modern Odisha,” Gadkari said, emphasizing the importance of vision in leadership.
