Paradip, Feb 7 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday dedicated the state of the art Paradip Refinery in Odisha to the nation.

Addressing the large gathering on the occasion, the Prime Minister said he appreciated the participation of a such a large number of people in an official programme related to development.

He said youth would benefit from employment opportunities, and poor women across the country who depended on firewood for fuel, would get access to LPG.

Narendra Modi said Government initiatives such as Mudra and Start Up India are benefitting the youth of India.
