It is necessary to prepare a Vision Document for our beloved State in which we would like to present a picture of Odisha as to where we would like to see her when she completes a century of her formation. It is an aspirational dream which would serve as a beacon to all of us to achieve heights of performance in the remaining years of the century.

The workshop will deliberate on six different themes around which the growth story of our State will be scripted. These are, Agriculture, Education, Social issues such as women empowerment, migration, mal-nutrition, etc., Micro Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), Start-ups, and Tourism. The uniqueness of the workshop is that the speakers on the various themes are practitioners in their respective fields (details attached). Their experience and their vision born out of such experience are expected to lend a distinct flavour to the deliberations.
