He discussed with the bankers on growth opportunities in the sector and urged them to expand their services in the unbanked areas of the state. On his part, Anand Mahindra in a tweet said, “There is only one way to describe CM @Naveen_Odisha A Class Act. Cerebral, calm, confident, he’s a man of few words who lets his actions do the talking. One of his greatest legacies will be a model for mitigating natural disasters that are being emulated around the world.”
