# Odisha Cabinet clears 10 proposals, OSWAS 3.0, semiconductor update 2026-08-12T17:32:45+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Odisha Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, on Wednesday approved 10 proposals from six departments. Key decisions include a push for paperless government offices up to block level by adopting OSWAS 3.0, a digital workflow system, though an earlier story reported OSWAS 2.0. The Cabinet accepted a single bid from Tata Consultancy Services for OSWAS 3.0 at a negotiated cost of Rs 122.6 crore, excluding taxes, with five-year support. The Cabinet also approved the third amendment to the Odisha Semiconductor Policy, aligning it with the Centre’s India Semiconductor Mission 2.0. The state will bear an additional 25% of eligible capital expenditure for qualifying semiconductor projects. Separately, the “Improvement to Tanks & MIPs, Phase-III” scheme was cleared, with a Rs 389 crore outlay over four years to renovate 680 minor irrigation projects, aiming to revive irrigation potential over 15,700 hectares. Two energy department proposals were also approved. ## Coverage - odishatv.in - odishatv.in - odishatv.in Tags: digital governance, minor irrigation, Odisha Cabinet, OSWAS 2.0, paperless offices, semiconductor policy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/odisha-cabinet-clears-10-proposals-amends-semiconductor-policy/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
