On Thursday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik expressed confidence that Odisha will soon become a trillion-dollar economy. The chief minister stated during the plenary session of Make-in-Odisha 3.0 that Odisha, which is a major force in the mining and mineral-based industries, is quickly emerging as a major investment destination in the country.
- The CM stated that Mission Shakti, which includes 70 lakh women, is a one-of-a-kind empowerment initiative in Odisha, and that the state’s own health assurance scheme BSKY is a watershed moment in the public health sector. “Participatory governance ensures that gains are distributed to all segments of society.” We were able to reduce poverty by half while doubling far income. Our fiscal responsibility and economic management have been praised across the country. “We are one of the few states with sufficient revenues to fund large-scale infrastructure projects,” he insisted.
“We are investing heavily in improving our transportation infrastructure, including expressways, railways, airports, and seaports.” We are a leader in electricity reform and the provision of high-quality, low-cost energy. “Our focus on creating quality education through the transformation of high schools, world-class higher educational institutions, and the Skilled-in-Odisha programme will enable social capital and support industries with highly qualified human resources,” he added.
