Editor’s Note

n the midst of devastating flood and change of the name of our beloved State from Orissa to Odisha, we are perplexed on one hand and elated on the other. IOne factor which is common in both these events is the tenacity and determination of our Government under the leadership of Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik. Determined that he is, all efforts are being made to provide relief and rehabilitation to the flood ravaged and so also is the celebration after getting ourselves relieved from the colonial hangover by change of name of our State. It reminds me of the peaceful explosion in Pokharan and subsequent reaction of former Prime Ministers Smt. Indira Gandhi in 1974 and Shri A.B.Vajpayee in 1998 respectively. The Orissa Review team congratulates the Chief Minister and the people of the State for working together and achieving a major change after 75 years. It is our sincere wish that we usher in balanced socio-economic growth in Odisha that hinges on sustainable development with strong fundamentals of industrial growth, right harnessing of natural resources and actualization of employment potential.

Last but not the least I would like to remind our esteemed readers that we have registered a significant decline in the percentage of BPL population, significant decline in the Maternal Mortality Rate, a significant rise in the Literacy Rate in Odisha. As an Odia, I am proud today that our State Odisha is on the path of growth where we are performing better than the national average. Let us all join hands and work together for bringing a smile on the face of every Odia. November - 2011 Orissa Review
