Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday launched infrastructure projects worth ₹550 crore in Ganjam district, focusing on irrigation, road development, and youth welfare, reported The Times of India.
The foundation stones were laid during his visit to Aska, where he addressed the ‘Yuba Shakti Samabesh’ marking one year of his government. The projects include five irrigation schemes expected to benefit 5,845 hectares of farmland, road widening, and a high-level bridge.
Majhi directed officials to speed up a revised DPR for the redevelopment of the Tara Tarini temple, a key religious site in the region.
He also announced the setting up of a world-class industrial training institute (ITI) and highlighted a roadmap to support youth aged 25–35. The CM said 28,346 government jobs have been provided so far, along with over 1.1 lakh jobs in the industrial sector. Another 40,000 government jobs are targeted for this year.
Focusing on sports infrastructure, Majhi said ₹4,100 crore has been allocated to build stadiums in every block to encourage youth to pursue careers in sports.
State ministers Suryavanshi Suraj, Bibhuti Bhusan Jena, Gokulanand Mallick, and several MLAs and MPs were present at the event.
