Rice is not only food but also the fruit of the farmer’s hard work. Despite all natural calamities, farmers continue to produce it. Except for some areas in Rourkela, Jharsuguda, and Bargarh in Western Odisha, there is no industry in other places. Therefore, the state government will promote industrialization in every district of the state. They will develop an industrial corridor connecting Paradip, Chowdwar, Dhenkanal, Anugul, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh, and Rourkela — from Eastern Odisha to Western Odisha.”
