Shri S. K. Mishra, the President of GOS quoted, ‘Utkal Divas is a sacred and significant day for the people of Odisha. The relentless struggle of the visionary leaders of Orissa for the formation of a separate province on the basis of language was realized on 1st April 1936 and Orissa was emerged as the first language based State in the country. It is a great coincidence to celebrate the diamond jubilee celebration of Odisha state in the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Gujarat State.”
