Orissa is on right path ???

Recently ended assembly elections in Himachal and Gujrat sparked debate on the Gujrat model of progress and where its an electoral debate there has to be many facets of this and of course allegations and counters will be there. But amid all this discussion and debates how far development made makes a point and its a reason to compare it with other states where they are ... 

Orissa being my home state I would take the comparison. Lets take a look.

Orissa,as I know is a place where the this state has an image of poor state, one of the backward states in the country and most painfully a place with very few names of national repute. If I ask the question whom to blame for this, it wont be tough to answer this. Vision and Visionary leadership, Progressive Historian, unavailability of writers and poets and more over will power in general public are those to reason. 

If I look I see still people are struggling for the day's need and we have not been successful in developing or adopting a second mode of earning other than traditional farming. In farming too if we compare our farmers with those in other states, we are far far behind on the return on investment. With technology and state support wherein other neighbouring states are in a forward march we still lack the basic amenities. What I feel is a lack in leadership in Politics and a forward thinking bureaucracy. We just need an electric Engine, enough of the steam engine for development.

I remember few months back the state govt. declared to make Odisha, Educational hub for eastern part of the country. With many engineering and medical colleges, IIT, IIIT & many others it really attracts the youth especially from UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattishgarh & WB. But where does these fellow students go after the course.... answer is simple Bangalore, Mumbai Delhi,, ,Hyderabad and so on. Unless until we retain these trained guns herein Orissa how will we fire ??? So people mus understand and create an environment with ease of doing business and attract national and foreign investors to open industries and other employment generation hubs. 

Unless until we nurture and retain homegrown talent and attract investors as an opportunity we will lack pace in development.
Its not the educated and trained talent is moving out of the state, even the unskilled labour too is moving out. Why ? because of unavailability of organised and regular source of income which should provide employment and opportunity for growth of an individual. People are seen to travel to Surat, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and other part of the country. Cant we provide them earning opportunities in our home state too.

We need to seriously think of the present situation and act accordingly. I urge all stake holders in Politics and others in the society to constructively work towards solving this before its too late for us.
