The Story in Brief
The Odisha Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, on Wednesday approved 10 proposals from six departments. The decisions include making government offices paperless up to block level through OSWAS 2.0, amending the semiconductor policy to align with the Centre's India Semiconductor Mission 2.0, and renovating 680 minor irrigation projects with Rs 389 crore over four years. The semiconductor amendment lets the state bear an additional 25 per cent of eligible capital expenditure for qualifying projects. The irrigation scheme is expected to revive 15,700 hectares. Two energy department proposals were also cleared.
Odishatv.in reports that the digital governance push aims to reduce reliance on physical files. The irrigation works cover reservoir desilting, dam strengthening, and canal repairs. The Cabinet's decisions span digitisation, manufacturing, and rural infrastructure.
The Indian Opinion
The government has put numbers on the table: Rs 389 crore for 680 irrigation projects and an extra 25 per cent capex for semiconductor units. Now the test is delivery. Will OSWAS 2.0 actually kill the file-culture at the block level? Will the semiconductor policy lure a real fab unit, or remain a paper promise? Watch for the first quarterly report on digital file disposal rates.
