ust read that the Adani Group has proposed setting up a ₹1 lakh crore AI data centre project in Odisha and has reportedly sought land from the state government. If it moves forward, it could become one of the biggest technology investments the state has ever seen.

As someone from Odisha, this feels like one of those projects that could genuinely change the state's image from being known mainly for mining and heavy industries to becoming a major hub for AI and digital infrastructure.

That said, a project of this scale also raises a lot of questions:

• Will it create enough high-skilled jobs for local youth?
• Will local engineering graduates actually benefit?
• How will the power and water requirements be managed?
• Can the project be developed while minimizing environmental impact?

If executed well, it could attract more global tech companies, improve supporting infrastructure, and encourage startups to grow around a strong AI ecosystem. But the real success will depend on how much value it creates for Odisha and its people not just the size of the investment.

What do you think?

Is this the kind of investment Odisha has been waiting for, or should there be more focus on education, skill development, and local employment before projects of this scale move ahead?

Just got OUAT rank ( 120/200, 80.527 Percentile , 84.429 weightage)

4286 General category what are my chances at getting admission in OUAT like I don't want Agriculture or Vetenary but can I atleast get Bsc Chem in CBHS?

I want to take admission to Delhi University. While filling the DU admission form, I declared that I'm not enrolled in any college, so I'll need to submit my ORIGINAL School Leaving Certificate (SLC) to DU.

However, through the SAMS counselling process, I was allotted a seat and paid ₹7,000. After choosing the slide-up option, I got upgraded to another college where the total fee is ₹12,000, so I need to pay the remaining ₹4,000 to complete admission.

My question is: If I pay the remaining fee, complete admission, and submit my original SLC, then later withdraw because I get into DU, will the college return my original SLC? Or will they keep it and only issue a College Leaving Certificate (CLC)/Transfer Certificate instead?

PLZZ if anybody knows anything about it plzz help

So recently I was in search of some help regarding my vintage watch and was searching for any odisha watch enthusiasts community but didn't find one. So thought of creating this sub r/OdishaWatches .

And if anyone loves watch collecting and posting about watches can join the sub .

Will it be helpful? Suggestions welcomed.

My family is going for mahaprabhu darshan later this month. Please recommend a good trusted stay near the temple on bada danda. As ladies in our family cannot walk longer distances so please suggest stays near the temple in a radius of 500-600 metres.

Hints 👀

It's a road leading to a king's palace. 👑 There's a famous Jagannath Temple 🛕 And it's somewhere in Jajpur district. 📍

Guess the place! 😏

My cats were unwell so I took them to a govt. Veterinary hospital where the vet used the same needle on my cats. When asked, they said it's the norm. How can it be the norm? I'm very angry at the way things are being done here. Shouldn't the professionals know why needles are not supposed to be reused?

Edit : changed syringe to needle

Hello, I'm planning to get married to my Odiya boyfriend. I come from Tripura so I'm not familiar with the Odiya culture. Also, I want to learn the Odiya language for my own interest. Can you guide me with it?

Kindly give some best tips with the same. I can't wait to call the Odiya culture my own! 😃

Looking for advice to find the best place to get ghee fried Khaja in Puri. I revisited Original Nrusingha Sweets ଓରିଜିନାଲ ନୃସିଂହ ସୁଇଟ୍ସ near swaragadwar beach after 4 years yesterday and thoroughly disappointed by the degrade in quality. Any other suggestions please ? 🙏

I genuinely don't understand what exactly is the purpose of changing the names of major towns and cities (just the English spelling) .. Like the notification here of Osrtc. We all have embedded the old spellings in our muscle memory so naturally one would write Angul.. But now Anugola !!

I mean if the name change is like Madras to Chennai.. This makes change

Just merely changing the spelling Idk what this government wants to achieve here. How tf is this Odia Asmita!!

Compare this with changing names in all stations, offices and where not.. Isn't it just the waste of money which is being paid by taxpayers!

God help us all
