In a significant boost for Odisha's development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated projects worth over Rs 60,000 crore during his address in Jharsuguda. The ambitious initiative includes the launch of BSNL's indigenous 4G services and the approval of new semiconductor units, underscoring the state's rapid progress.
Modi emphasized the government's resolve for self-reliance, highlighting measures to enhance shipbuilding with a Rs 70,000 crore package.
