The Odisha government is accelerating its Viksit Odisha 2036 roadmap, with the chief secretary examining the progress of major infrastructure projects and budget implementation.
Odisha’s administration has entered an intensive phase of planning for the long‑term development agenda titled “Viksit Odisha 2036.” In a recent review meeting, the state’s chief secretary examined the status of flagship infrastructure schemes, including road corridors, power generation units and water‑resource projects, to ensure they are on track with the five‑year milestones set by the plan.
The chief secretary also scrutinised the execution of the state budget for the current fiscal year, focusing on fund allocation efficiency and the pace of disbursements to the identified projects. Officials highlighted that while several initiatives have met their targets, some sectors such as rural connectivity and renewable energy require accelerated funding.
State officials said the review is part of a systematic monitoring mechanism aimed at aligning financial outlays with the strategic objectives of Viksit Odisha 2036. The government intends to publish periodic progress reports to maintain transparency and keep stakeholders informed.
The emphasis on rigorous budget execution reflects Odisha’s broader goal of sustaining economic growth while addressing social infrastructure gaps. The chief secretary reiterated that timely completion of these projects is crucial for achieving the state’s vision of inclusive development by 2036.
