Bhubaneswar, November 25: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi distributed 7,293 appointment letters to newly appointed government employees across 12 departments at a special event held at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. This initiative forms a key part of the state government's ambitious "Samruddha Odisha 2036" program, which envisions transforming Odisha into a $500 billion economy by 2036.

In his address, CM Majhi sharply criticized the previous government's inability to initiate an industrial revolution despite over two decades of political stability. He accused the past leadership of betraying Odisha by failing to implement visionary plans and political will. He also pointed out that initiatives like "Make in Odisha" were mainly event-driven and lacked tangible, long-term results on the ground.

Highlighting the achievements of his government in just 17 months, CM Majhi announced that Odisha has secured investment proposals totaling ₹17 lakh crore — the largest in the state’s history. Furthermore, 260 projects worth ₹5.6 lakh crore have already been approved, which are expected to create 3.6 lakh new job opportunities. Of these, projects worth ₹2 lakh crore have already begun construction.

Reaffirming his government's focus on real-time project execution, CM Majhi revealed plans to establish industries in 64 locations across 30 districts, with groundbreaking completed in 14 districts. He emphasized that his administration is committed to real industrial growth and not merely event management, positioning Odisha as an emerging hub for opportunities and economic prosperity.
