Prince Dance Group and Naveen Patnaik are nominees for Indian of the Year contest

Odisha has an unique opportunity to hog national limelight once again as the CNN-IBN has shortlisted Naveen Patnaik and Prince Dance Group in Politics and entertainment categories respectively for its “Indian of the year (www.indianoftheyear.com)” contest. There are 5 categories-Politics, Sports, Entertainment, Business and Public Service. Last year Nitish Kumar won the CNN-IBN Indian of the year 2008. Recently Naveen has appealed one and all to vote for Prince Dance Group in the contest organized by the Colors Channel. And the Prince Dance Group won handsomely in the contest, bringing laurels for the state. Interestingly in the CNN-IBN contest in Entertainment category both Prince Dance Group and Colors are also vying for the award. It seems the Prince Dance Group; a team of daily wagers from Berhampur, have won the hearts of the Indians and have earned a place for them.
