Odisha Plans 15 Airports by 2047

The Odisha government wants to have 15 fully working airports by 2047, which is when India will celebrate 100 years of independence.

Right now, Odisha has 19 airports or airstrips, but only 5 are operational.

The government is working on making more airports functional and even building a new international airport in Puri.

They also want to make a lot of money from aviation services and train people to work in the aviation industry.

The government is planning to make rules and policies to help this happen.

They also want Odisha to be a leader in aviation in eastern India.

Additionally, Odisha wants to become a 'green energy hub' by 2036, focusing on reducing the use of fossil fuels and increasing renewable energy.

They had a big meeting about energy with leaders from different places to talk about how to make energy cleaner and more sustainable.
