Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi introduced the ‘Bikashita Gaon Bikashita Odisha’ (BGBO) scheme in Jankia, Khordha district, to accelerate rural infrastructure development. With a ₹5,000 crore budget over five years, the initiative focuses on improving road connectivity, civic amenities, educational facilities, and micro-tourism. The scheme aims to ensure holistic village development while keeping politics separate from governance. Building upon previous initiatives like ‘Ama Gaon Ama Bikash’ (2018) and ‘Ama Odisha Naveen Odisha’ (2023), the BGBO scheme demonstrates Odisha’s commitment to long-term rural progress and improved quality of life in villages.
