Patnaik said the success of that vision is now clearly visible as the OIA celebrates its silver jubilee in a befitting manner. Patnaik, however, admitted that there had been some disappointments in the industrial sector but quickly added that failure for the first generation entrepreneurs was natural.
He asked the entrepreneurs not to get disheartened over the failures and suggested that corrective steps should now be taken to revive the sick small and medium industries.
