The roadmap for the eastern state sets development goals, anchored around the centenary of Odisha's formation as a linguistic state in 2036.

"The growth of 21st-century India will be powered by Eastern India. This is the era of Purvoday," declared Modi, stating that with this spirit, the government is focused on the development of Odisha along with the entire eastern region.

The vision document sets bold but achievable targets—to become a $500-billion economy by 2036, and to grow into a $1.5-trillion one by 2047—fifteen times its current size.
