NYP State convener Madhusudan Das presided over the ceremony.

Among others, Swabhiman president Nibedita Scudder, project officer Jyoti Prasanna Pattnaik, writer Susama Mishra, Mothers Public School Principal Polly Patnaik, Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan director Colonel PK Sahoo and  Odisha Youth Red Cross Secretary Kalpana Das encouraged the students for further achievements in future.
