Bhubaneswar: Planned at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar, the Utkarsha Odisha-Make in Odisha-2025 conclave is set to be a grand event lasting for two days starting January 28, which aims at displaying Odisha as a key industrial node in India and attract aspirations of an investment of a whopping ₹5 lakh crore and, consequently, 215,000 job opportunities.
Industries Minister Sampada Swain expressed confidence in Odisha’s trajectory, stating that the state has already approved 159 industries in the past seven months, attracting investments worth ₹2.75 lakh crore. The government’s proactive approach has set the stage for a new industrial revolution in the region.
Event of Top-ranked Personalities
The two-day summit of the conclave will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accompanied by Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Ashwini Vaishnaw, and Jual Oram. The event is expected to have more than 7,500 industrial delegates and dignitaries representing 16 countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and the UK.
Iconic people in Indian industry – such as SL Mittal, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Anil Agarwal, and T.V. Narendran-will also interact with the new Utkarsha Odisha business community. This will be their professional knowledge and commitment to the growth of Odisha.
Strategic Efforts for Development
The Utkarsha Odisha gathering will discuss programs that may help jump-start economic growth:
- Establishing Start-Up Odisha for boosting innovation.
- Skill in Odisha to enhance employability.
- Women Empowerment Programs to promote gender equality in business.
- Special emphasis on the cinema and media sector and small-scale industries.
The exhibition, open to the public on January 30, will provide a closer look at the state’s industrial aspirations and achievements.
Investment Prospect and Employment Generation
The ₹5 lakh crore investment target is a promising harbinger that sees Odisha gearing up to be a key player in the industrial landscape of India. The combined efforts of approved industries and partners are going to overhaul the infrastructure and economic setting of the state, ensuring financial advantages to prospective investors.
Owing to the holding of MoUs becoming right into activities, the CM noted: “Industries which have signed MoUs but shall remain dormant will be subjected to various impending actions.” This should bring accountability to desirable outcomes.
Odisha: The Door to Growth
The state has been trying to position itself as an attractive destination for global and domestic investment, given its skillful workforce, strategically sited policies, and innumerable stimuli for growth. The Utkarsha Odisha Conclave is not just an event but a declaration of the state’s determination to lead India’s industrial growth story.
As the world watches, Odisha is ready to deliver on its promise of sustainable development, robust infrastructure, and an inclusive growth model.
