Droupadi Murmu address Odisha Assembly
President Droupadi Murmu will create history as she becomes the first sitting President of India to address the Odisha Legislative Assembly.
The winter session is scheduled to begin on November 27, and officials have confirmed that President Murmu will deliver her address during the opening hour of the session.
Her visit marks a powerful moment for the state, especially because she began her political career in the same Assembly two decades ago.
The Odisha Assembly has intensified preparations ahead of her arrival.
Authorities have strengthened security, renovated key areas of the building, and restored Room Number 11,
the chamber President Murmu used between 2000 and 2004 when she served as Minister of State for Commerce and Transport.
Her return to the Assembly in such a significant role highlights both her personal journey and the state’s political progress.
Speaker Surama Padhy stated that the President’s presence reflects Odisha’s rising national influence and its commitment to democratic values.
Leaders across party lines expressed pride, calling it a landmark moment for the state and a tribute to Murmu’s connection with Odisha’s people.
Public excitement has grown rapidly, making the event one of the most anticipated topics in national coverage.
Many citizens view the President’s address as an inspirational homecoming,
especially tribal communities who see Murmu’s rise as a symbol of representation and empowerment.
As the state awaits her historic address, Odisha prepares to witness an important milestone one that blends legacy,
governance, and pride for millions watching across the country.
