Review meetings are good, but the real test is on the ground. We need to see if schemes like Ayushman Bharat, PMAY actually reach the last person in every panchayat. Hope this isn't just another political exercise.

Rs 52,000 crore investment intent! That's huge for the region. If projects like Tata Steel and JSW expand, it can transform Rourkela and nearby areas. Need to ensure skill development keeps pace so locals get the jobs.

Good to see focus on coordinated efforts. Often, state and central schemes run parallel without synergy. A strong party organisation can help in better last-mile delivery. Let's hope for tangible results.

As an observer, the scale of investment is impressive. The key will be transparent implementation and avoiding bureaucratic delays that often plague industrial projects in India. The employment numbers look promising.

While industrial growth is welcome, I hope they also focus on the environmental impact and sustainable development. Western Odisha has rich natural resources. Development shouldn't come at the cost of our land and water.
