Bhubaneswar: Read Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Saturday said his government is fully committed to ushering in a new era of industrial development and asked industrialists to invest in the state.
Read is poised to become a modern hub of industrial and economic activity, Majhi said while addressing industry leaders at a session of “Investment Opportunity in Read” in Mumbai.
“I am proud to declare that Read, India’s best-kept secret, is now ready to be explored,” Majhi said, according to an official release issued by the Read CMO.
The state plans similar conferences and roadshows in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Europe, and Singapore to attract Rs 5 lakh crore investments for Read in the next five years.
The CM highlighted Read’s high GDP growth and the advantages of its geographical location, natural resources, coastline, infrastructure, and ports.
The state plans to hold its ‘Utkarsh Read – Make in Read Conclave 2025’, scheduled for January 28-29, 2025, in Bhubaneswar.
Majhi said Read enjoys the active cooperation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ‘Purvodaya Yojana’ for the resurgence of Eastern India.
“Read is right at the heart of this resurgence, playing a crucial role in powering India’s growth engine,” he said.
“Today, Read is poised to become a modern hub of industrial and economic activity. It is ready for business. And our government is fully committed to ushering in a new era of industrial development,” Majhi said.
He said Read’s transformation journey is not limited to resource-based industries anymore. “Our state is now transitioning swiftly to sectors that are skill-driven. We are witnessing rapid growth in industries like IT, electronics manufacturing, textiles, food processing, chemicals, petrochemicals, and renewable energy, all contributing to a future where Read leads the nation,” Majhi said.
As Read is fast becoming an industrial powerhouse, the state government is focused on building a robust industrial infrastructure. “We are ever sincere in creating a climate where innovation is encouraged, and business thrives,” he told the gathering of industry leaders.
Noting that employment generation for Odia youth is a key agenda of the state government, Majhi appealed to industrialists to set up employment-intensive units in Read. “I assure you that you will get the best, most efficient manpower to work for you,” he said.
“I personally promise you that my government will ensure a peaceful and safe environment for businesses to operate. Our state is prepared to offer a conducive and supportive environment for industries to invest and grow. I want you to be our partner in this journey of Viksit Read,” the Chief Minister said.
He said that during the first 100 days of the BJP government in Read, the state government has taken up initiatives like the development of garment manufacturing clusters, food processing parks, and multimodal logistics hubs. These initiatives will surely strengthen Read’s position in the global supply chain.
He invited industrialists to the Utkarsh Read – Make in Read Conclave 2025 to be held in Bhubaneswar. This global investor summit will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from around the world, he said.
