An urgent appeal to the Hon'ble Chief Minister and his Cabinet, as well as the people of Odisha: Let's come together to plant at least 4.5 Crore trees during the upcoming monsoon season. According to the Technical Group report by the National Commission, Odisha's population is anticipated to reach 4.66 Crore by July 1, 2024, and is projected to increase further to 4.91 Crore by 2036. To cater to the oxygen needs of this growing population residing in various regions of Odisha, including 115 ULBs, 58 sub-divisions, 317 Tahasils, 314 blocks, 6,801 Gram Panchayats, and 51,349 villages, a staggering 326.2 million (32.62 Crores) trees need to be planted. Let's take action now to ensure a sustainable and green future for Odisha. Together, we can make a significant impact by planting trees that will not only benefit the environment but also improve the quality of life for generations to come. #Odisha #Sustainability #Tree Planting #Environment #Oxygen #Green Future

Today, I had the privilege of visiting Pakur district in Jharkhand, engaging with diverse stakeholders representing various backgrounds and the local community, we delved into the just transition, where they shared valuable insights and challenges related to sustainable development and climate action. The primary objective of this consultation was to raise awareness and initiate meaningful dialogues aimed at fostering a deep understanding of the need for sustainable development. Our specific emphasis was on economic diversification in Pakur, covering sectors such as agro-forestry, agriculture, tourism, handicrafts, and more. Interacting with the local community was a profound experience, going beyond mere just getting insights. It was about empathizing with their perspectives and committing to making a tangible impact. Witnessing smiles on their faces after our discussions brought a sense of satisfaction, reinforcing our dedication to translating insights into action. A great experience, highlighting the influence we hold in shaping positive outcomes. Expressing my thanks to Centre for Environment and Energy Development (CEED) & Dr. Manish Kumar for entrusting me with this opportunity to immerse in this transformative journey and contribute during the visit. #JustTransition #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityEngagement #teamcollaboration #jharkhand #stakeholderengagement #positiveimpact #exploration #insightfuldialogues #greeneconomy

Recently #Odisha got its new chief minister after 24 years of same party governance. I am an #Odia. I was born and brought up in Odisha. And after leaving the state for studies after 10th standard I have lived in 3 other Indian states in the past 15 years. Looking at the levels of development in different part of the country, I feel few very specific things needs to be recalibrated for Odisha to reach 1 trillion economy in the next 10 years. Keeping pace with country's current speed of development and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's dream of Developed #India by 2047 the following broad areas on Odisha specially need immediate attention for long term Results. 1. #Education sector including #skill development and livelihood earning oriented training. 2. Revolutionizing #agriculture including forestry and animal husbandry. 3. #Civil infrastructure with focus on facilities that reach the last mile. 4. A much needed push to the #entrepreneur mindset of the common citizen of Odisha, including pushing for non mine based #industrialgrowth and #commercial and #trading activity. 5. Revival of the #Kalinga / #utkal economy that thrived with the help of #temple / #Spirituality / #Hindu religion based practices that is lost in the past 1000 years. I will be putting forwards my thoughts and observations on the above 5 mentioned topics in next 6 months with open sources data. Will try tagging the relevant people from the government. Help me in identifying the right people if you know. OTV | Odisha Television Ltd.
