Odisha Secures ₹1.67 Lakh Crore Investments

Odisha, a state in India, recently held meetings with investors in Hyderabad and Kolkata.

These meetings helped the state get promises of ₹1.67 lakh crore in investments.

This money will help create many new jobs, around 1.46 lakh.

Odisha is trying to move from being known for steel and mining to focusing on newer industries like IT, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.

The state's leader, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, said this is a good time for investors to come to Odisha.

The state has good infrastructure, like ports and roads, and plans to set up new training centers to help these industries grow.

The goal is to make Odisha a successful and modern place for business by 2036 and contribute to India's development by 2047.
