It is rather unfortunate the the Congress Govts at the Centre have been neglecting the Orissa State in general and the Backward Tribal districts in particular. The result is abject poverty in these areas, similar to Sub Saharan Countries of Africa.
Mere visits of Congress leaders from the Centre does not solve the problems and their visits are aimed for fishing in muddy water for political gains.
If the UPA Govt is serious to help Orissa, then let them demonstrate their sincerity by implementing the following on top priority: 1.Constitute Backward Districts Dev Board and implement Projects for roads,water supply, health care, small scale agro-industries viz. Dairy Farming,Poultry, high-yield and mechanised Agriculture, etc etc. It is well known that poor State does not have funds for meeting the Salaries of its Employees. 2.Set up IIT and IIM in the Western Orissa. 3. Expedite AIIMS project, which started by NDA and being overlooked by UPA. 4. Set up National Institute of Science near Bhubaneswar, it was planned earlier by NDA and UPA Govt has shifted this project to West Bengal via Vote Bank politics. Congress, pl be a part of the Solutions and not part of Problems
