The state cabinet, led by CM Mohan Charan Majhi, passed proposals across 11 departments; from education to fisheries to urban infrastructure. The biggest? A ₹450 crore ‘Dakshyata Vikas Yojana’ aimed at skilling youth and connecting them with jobs. They’re also revamping teacher rules; better promotions, clearer seniority. Plus, free textbooks for Class 9–10 students. And a ₹1,360 crore fund to ensure farmers get quality seeds and fertilisers on time. What’s quietly important: They’ve increased fisheries cadre posts from 445 to 774; meaning more government job openings. Also revised engineer promotion ratios; a small change that could ease career bottlenecks for many. This isn’t just policy; it’s about creating pathways. For students, teachers, engineers, farmers, job-seekers. Odisha’s building not just roads and dams; but careers.
