Bhubaneswar, May 9 (UNI) Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi announced on Friday that the preparation of the "Odisha Vision 2036" document is in its final stage.
A draft has already been prepared, and the final version will be completed after consultations with experts. Majhi expressed confidence that a prosperous Odisha will be realised by 2036.
The Chief Minister said the aim is to transform Odisha into a $500 billion economy. Steps will be taken to ensure that even the most marginalised sections of society receive access to all essential services by 2036.
Majhi made these remarks while attending the state-level 'Consultation Workshop' organized as part of the 'Vision Odisha 2036 and 2047' initiative held in Bhubaneswar.
He emphasised that the vision document serves as a roadmap for the dreams of 4.5 crore Odias and represents a promise to future generations.
The Chief Minister added that following the state-level workshop, three regional workshops will be held in Sambalpur, Balasore, and Jajpur to gather more inputs.
Participants at Friday's workshop included experienced administrators, educators, public representatives, industry leaders, civil society members, and eminent figures from Odisha's arts, culture, and heritage sectors. They shared their views and submitted proposals to the government.
Majhi revealed that 36 top-priority programs have been identified to make a meaningful impact in critical sectors by 2036. This strategic initiative is expected to accelerate Odisha's development journey.
He stressed that a whole-of-government approach will be adopted to implement the programs, which will span across key sectors such as economy, industry, education, health, infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, science and research, innovation, and women's empowerment.
Majhi reiterated the government's ambitious resolution to transform Odisha into a prosperous state by 2036, marking the centenary of the state's formation.
He also highlighted Odisha's envisioned contribution to India's goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
'Our Vision 2036 and 2047 documents reflect an ambitious resolve to build a prosperous, developed, and proud Odisha—a 'Developed Odisha' that will shine brightly as part of a 'Developed India,'' he stated.
In alignment with the Prime Minister's 'Jan Bhagidari' initiative, Majhi noted that over 3.2 lakh suggestions have been received from citizens of Odisha and the Odia diaspora worldwide.
He further emphasised that Odisha is the first state in India to use artificial intelligence for analysing public feedback and data to prepare its vision document.
Majhi also mentioned that Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of Parliament (MPs) have been requested to provide their valuable input, considering their extensive experience.
Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Women and Child Development, Parvathi Parida, who also attended the event, emphasised the importance of aligning present conditions with future goals in formulating an effective action plan.
