He said that 36 top priority programmes have been identified to make a significant impact in key sectors by 2036. This is a strategic initiative termed as ’36 for 36′, which will accelerate the journey of growth of Odisha, Majhi added.
The Chief Minister said that the programmes will be taken up with a ‘whole of government’ approach to realise the vision.
Clear-cut programmes will be prepared and steps will be taken in 36 areas such as economy, industry, education, health, infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, science and research, innovation, women empowerment, rural development, tribal welfare, Odia language, culture and promotion of Odia ‘Asmitha’ (pride), he said.
Steps will be taken to ensure all kinds of basic amenities reach the people in the lower stratum of society by 2036, he said.
