CHIEF Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Tuesday said that Odisha must achieve fivefold economic growth over the next decade to realise its goal of becoming a $500-billion economy by 2036.
While inaugurating the two-day ‘Samruddha Odisha 2036’ Conclave organised by the Utkal Chamber of Commerce & Industry Limited (UCCIL), CM Majhi stated that the current size of Odisha’s economy is around $120 billion.
“To increase it to $500 billion by 2036, we will need to achieve nearly fivefold growth in the next 10-11 years. For this, we have been focusing on infrastructure, industry, and skill development. As you all know, so far projects worth Rs 2 lakh crore have been invested, leading to the foundation-laying of 84 industries, with 1.64 lakh employment opportunities,” he said.
