Indian Hockey Team didn’t qualify for Beijing Olympics, 2008. They had no shoes to wear in 2011. In 2012 and 2016 Olympics, India was 12th and 8th place respectively. Odisha started sponsoring Indian Hockey from 2018. See the progress after that. πŸ‘‡

Hygenco to set up a green hydrogen/ammonia project at Gopalpur Industrial Park, Odisha. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project has taken place. Two other green-tech companies, ACME and AAVAADA Group, are also setting up their plants at Gopalpur Industrial Park. Gopalpur is fast emerging as a green hydrogen/ammonia hub of India.

This is Bhubaneswar’s airport growth story in numbers - and why Puri Intl Airport is needed within the next 10 years. πŸ‘‡ > Aircraft movements: 10,765 β†’ 38,416 in 12 years (3.5x growth) > Passenger traffic: 1.4 million β†’ 5.1 million annually (3.6x growth) > Cargo handling: 11,167 metric tonnes/year With air traffic rising rapidly and limited room for expansion at Bhubaneswar Airport, Odisha will need Puri International Airport within the next decade to complement it.

No helmet. Laptop on the fuel tank. Eyes divided between the road and the screen. One moment of distraction is all it takes to turn this into a tragedy.

A glimpse of today’s Patitapabana Darshan at Shree Jagannatha Temple, Puri. The Mahaprabhu who belongs to everyone, blessing devotees from the Singhadwara with boundless grace and compassion. Jai Jagannatha. πŸ™

Odisha is a land of festivals, where every season brings its own celebration. Today marks the beginning of Raja Parba (ରଜ/ΰ€°ΰ€œ) - a unique festival celebrating womanhood, fertility, and the arrival of the monsoon. For three days, swings sway, traditional delicacies are prepared, and the earth is given rest as a mark of respect for Mother Nature. Happy Raja Parba to everyone!

Saw this in a village of Kendrapada district. Every LT pole of Tata Power (TPCODL) carries a unique QR code. When I looked it up online, found that TPCODL has digitally mapped over 1.9 million electricity poles across its network, assigning each one a unique geolocation. Reporting issues by simply sharing the pole code will be easier.

Look at the speedometer(3rd pic) frozen after the crash - 160 kmph! 😳 A BMW rammed into the rear of a truck near Bhabanipatana, Kalahandi, late Friday night, k!lling two on the spot. What makes it even more shocking: the owner reportedly had no idea. The two occupants, employed at a garage in Dharamgarh, allegedly took the vehicle out without informing the owner. A tragic reminder that speed and recklessness can turn fatal in seconds.

The artisans are working tirelessly for the Ratha construction at Jagannatha Dham, Puri. With a tight timeline, they build three new Rathas from scratch every year - entirely by hand. No architectural drawings, no formal documentation. Just centuries-old knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. A remarkable living tradition. πŸ™

Nothing beats Odisha Rasagola. ❀️ When passing through Salepur, I always make sure to stop for its legendary Rasagola. From this small town in Odisha, Rasagolas are shipped to destinations around the world. Soft, juicy, and unmatched in taste.
