The inaugural session of the Puri Literary Festival 2025!

Hon’ble @GovernorOdisha @DrHariBabuK, remarked, “Puri is not just a city—it is a living embodiment of our civilizational legacy. Literature is the sacred thread that binds our past to the future, and it is our collective duty to preserve and pass on this wisdom with pride and purpose.”

Shri @dpradhanbjp, Hon’ble Union Minister of Education, stated, “Odisha’s cultural soul, anchored in places like Puri, continues to inspire India’s literary and artistic imagination. I commend the Adhyayan Foundation for creating a platform where tradition meets thought, and culture meets creativity.”

Dr. @sambitswaraj, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, added, “A Viksit Bharat must stand on the strong pillars of its cultural and literary heritage. Let the sacred soil of Puri inspire a new generation of writers to script stories that echo our identity, values, and timeless spirit.”
