 <\/p>\n

Bhubaneswar:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a landmark visit to Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over Rs. 18,600 crore, commemorating the completion of one year of the first BJP government in the state. The ceremony, held in Bhubaneswar, marked a celebration of governance, cultural pride, and development across sectors, including health, infrastructure, energy, and tribal welfare.<\/p>\n

Addressing a large gathering, PM Modi hailed the day as the \u201canniversary of good governance devoted to public service,\u201d while congratulating Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and his team. \u201cOdisha has embraced the mantra of development and heritage,\u201d said the Prime Minister, asserting that the state’s role in India’s progress has grown immensely.<\/p>\n

A Symbolic Shift in Governance<\/h3>\n

Highlighting the transformative journey of Odisha over the past year, PM Modi said, \u201cThis is not just a change of government, it\u2019s the beginning of a new era of inclusive and accountable development.\u201d He praised the state leadership for initiating reforms swiftly and decisively, citing examples such as the reopening of all four gates of the Shree Jagannath Temple and the inspection of the temple\u2019s sacred Ratna Bhandar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister underscored the significance of Odisha in India\u2019s civilizational fabric. \u201cOdisha has enriched Indian culture for centuries. Now, as development and heritage merge to define India\u2019s growth path, Odisha\u2019s responsibility and contribution have become even more vital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Milestones Unveiled<\/h3>\n

Among the highlights of the Prime Minister\u2019s visit:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Launch of development projects<\/strong> worth over Rs. Un18,600 crore across drinking water, irrigation, rural infrastructure, national highways, and healthcare.<\/li>\n
  • New railway line<\/strong> inaugurated, extending rail connectivity to Boudh district for the first time.<\/li>\n
  • Flagging off 100 electric buses<\/strong> in Bhubaneswar under the CRUT system to enhance sustainable urban mobility.<\/li>\n
  • Release of the Odisha Vision Document<\/strong>, outlining development goals up to 2036 and 2047.<\/li>\n
  • Launch of the Baraputra Aitihya Gram Yojana<\/strong>, a heritage preservation scheme to commemorate eminent Odias.<\/li>\n
  • Recognition of 16.5 lakh Lakhpati Didis<\/strong>, women who have achieved self-reliance through entrepreneurship and government support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Eastern India as a New Growth Engine<\/h3>\n

    Reiterating the Centre\u2019s focus on \u201cPurvoday\u201d \u2014 the rise of eastern India \u2014 PM Modi stated, \u201cDevelopment of 21st-century India will gain momentum from Eastern India, and Odisha will lead that charge.\u201d He pointed to a string of mega projects such as the Paradip petrochemical hub, LNG terminal in Gopalpur, and a crude oil storage facility in Chandikhole, aimed at transforming Odisha into an industrial powerhouse.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Highlighting connectivity, he said, \u201cThousands of crores are being invested in Odisha\u2019s road, rail, and air networks \u2014 from Paradip to Jharsuguda, industrial corridors are coming up that will generate lakhs of jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Empowering the Marginalized<\/h3>\n

    A key focus of the Prime Minister\u2019s speech was the empowerment of Odisha\u2019s tribal population. \u201cEarlier regimes only exploited tribal communities for votes, ignoring their welfare. Our government has taken decisive steps to change that,\u201d PM Modi said.<\/p>\n

    He elaborated on two landmark tribal schemes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Dharati Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan<\/strong> \u2013 Encompassing 60,000 tribal villages nationwide, including road, electricity, housing, and water infrastructure in Odisha.<\/li>\n
    • PM Janman Yojana<\/strong> \u2013 Inspired by Odisha\u2019s own tribal legacy and supported by the guidance of President Droupadi Murmu, this scheme targets Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) with focused development projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      PM Modi also noted that Naxalite violence, once rampant in tribal areas, had now been confined to under 20 districts nationwide due to combined security and development efforts.<\/p>\n

      From Neglect to Welfare<\/h3>\n

      Criticizing previous administrations for \u201cred-tapism and apathy,\u201d the Prime Minister recalled how lakhs of families in Odisha were excluded from central welfare schemes like Ayushman Bharat<\/strong> and PM-KISAN<\/strong>. \u201cToday, nearly 3 crore people in Odisha receive health coverage, and our farmers benefit from higher MSP and double assistance from both state and Centre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

      He announced that over 23 lakh elderly citizens in Odisha are now eligible for \u20b95 lakh health coverage under PM Vaya Vandana Yojana<\/strong>, and fishermen have begun receiving Kisan Credit Cards<\/strong> for the first time.<\/p>\n

      A Vision for the Future<\/h3>\n

      With eyes set on the centenaries of both Odisha (2036) and India\u2019s independence (2047), PM Modi said the BJP-led Odisha government has laid out an ambitious roadmap. \u201cWe\u2019re not just planning for five years, but for decades. I have full confidence in Odisha\u2019s youth to deliver on this vision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

      Dignitaries Present<\/h3>\n

      The Governor of Odisha, Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Jual Oram, and other senior dignitaries attended the historic event.<\/p>\n

      In Conclusion<\/strong>, PM Modi’s visit and the launch of transformative initiatives signal a turning point in Odisha\u2019s development journey \u2014 a fusion of cultural pride and economic ambition, designed to elevate the state as a model for Eastern India and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
