PM Modi to visit Odisha on Oct 25, inaugurate RBI data centre
The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Odisha on 25 October to inaugurate the Reserve Bank of India’s new Greenfield Data Centre at Info Valley-II in Jatni, near Bhubaneswar. The facility, built at an estimated cost of Rs 170 crore, will serve as a backup to the RBI’s primary data centre in Navi Mumbai and strengthen the security of critical financial data, according to Odisha BJP vice-president Jatin Mohanty.
Modi is scheduled to arrive at Bhubaneswar airport around 4.30 pm, inaugurate the data centre at about 5.30 pm, and depart for New Delhi at 6.30 pm. He will also inaugurate an Enterprise Computing and Cyber Security Training Institute at the same location. Three temporary helipads have been constructed for the visit, and security measures have been stepped up along the route, Mohanty said.
Odisha is hosting the country’s second RBI data centre, and BJP leaders say the project will boost the state’s digital infrastructure and attract technology-driven investment. Modi had personally selected Odisha for the project, Mohanty added.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Sambad English and OTV both report PM Modi's 25 October visit to Odisha to inaugurate an RBI data centre near Jatni, but their framings differ in emphasis. Sambad English leads with the Prime Minister's personal selection of Odisha for the project and calls it a sign of the Centre's focus on the state's development, while OTV leads with the facility's backup role to the Navi Mumbai centre and adds the inauguration of a cyber security training institute. Both carry Odisha BJP vice-president Jatin Mohanty as their sole named source, OTV includes his remark that the centre serves as a backup, which Sambad English omits. Neither outlet carries any opposition or independent expert comment. The uniform source reliance means the coverage is essentially identical in substance, the variation is in what each outlet chooses to highlight. Mohanty's own framing connects the investment to Odisha's technology sector positioning, a point both outlets carry.
