Odisha has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in eastern India with a solid 7.9% growth rate in 2025-26, says CM Mohan Majhi.
Great start for sure
But we need real tremendous action for inclusive growth and scale.
1-: Spread GCCs, tech hubs and skill centers to Berhampur, Rourkela, Sambalpur and beyond not just Bhubaneswar.
2-: Blend innovation software technology with practical industrial skills for local manufacturing jobs which is OdishaтАЩs strength.
3-: Create one strong forum connecting Odia NRIs and youth for mentorship, funding and reverse brain drain.
4-: Build agri green tech ecosystem, smart farming, millets, solar cold chains carbon projects, trust me our farmers are facing huge challenges.
5-: Make tourism actually work better infra, clean sites and easy experiences in Puri, Konark and tribal areas so we can bring more foreign visitors.
6-: More importantly we need to throw crab mentality and solid administrative accountability from government representatives to leadership.
7-: Focus international collaboration, bring global tech transfer, joint R&D in green hydrogen and AI. Make learning paths job ready in Industry 4.0.
What we still missing
Weak infrastructure in many districts, rising pollution, and ignoring cities like Berhampur(which holds immense potential) , Baripada, Bhadrak, Sambalpur etc
LetтАЩs build a truly Viksit Odisha green, innovative for all, the day our youths will not go to other states or countries that day will be the real rise of Odisha.
Till date we can feel happy but never be proud.
