|February 06, 2025
CHIEF Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday said his government is working hard to bring transformative changes in the lives of rural people by bridging the gap between villages and towns.
Launching the 'Bikashita Gaon, Bikashita Odisha' (BGBO) scheme at Jankia in Khurda district, around 45 km from the state capital, the chief minister said this initiative aims to end the divide in development between urban and rural areas, bringing equality in basic infrastructure for ease of living. A provision of ₹5,000 crore has been made for the programme over the next five years.
"This programme will bring development to approximately 60,000 villages in Odisha, transforming them into growth engines. It will bring significant changes to the lives of rural people who constitute 80 pc of the state's population, improving their daily lives and ease of living," the CM said.
