Bhubaneswar: Chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday stepped up his outreach to students and youths, warning them against “destructive forces” that he alleged were trying to mislead the younger generation and spread anarchy under foreign influence.His remarks came days after the state govt announced free 1 GB of data a month for college students and removed the cap on attempts for Odisha Civil Services examination.Addressing a state-level convention of newly elected ABVP student union representatives from different campuses, Majhi said certain forces were trying to create unrest at a time when the country was progressing under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.“Some are trying to create anarchy in the name of CJP and some in the name of Gen Z. They are controlled by foreign forces. We have to stop them,” Majhi said, urging student organisations such as ABVP to counter such forces “on the ground and social media”.“Be alert. We will defeat the anti-national forces,” he said, invoking Swami Vivekananda’s famous call: “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached.”Majhi said Odisha was passing through an important phase of rebuilding, and youths had a crucial role in achieving the goals of Mission 2036 and Viksit Bharat 2047. “India is a country of youth. If they get the right opportunities, they can lead the world. We are working in that direction,” he said.Referring to his govt’s youth-focused initiatives, Majhi highlighted free education from KG to PG, skill development, startups and innovation. He said the govt wanted young people to emerge not just as job seekers but also as job creators.The CM also called upon students to help create drug-free campuses and urged them to take part in the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ plantation campaign, cleanliness drives and initiatives promoting social harmony, including greater engagement with SC and ST communities.Majhi said India had emerged as the world’s fourth-largest economy and stressed the need to strengthen Odia identity while fostering a scientific temper.
