BHUBANESWAR: The reclusive Odisha chief minister, Naveen Patnaik, has been silently but incessantly strengthening governance and attaining out to the citizens as the country is inching nearer in opposition to the Lok Sabha and assembly elections in 2019.
BJD's tally within the 2017 panchayat elections almost certainly precipitated Naveen to take some proactive steps as BJP emerged as the principle opposition within the grassroots polls forcing the Congress to be glad with the third slot.
The BJD that won in 651 out of the 849 zilla parishad zones in 2012 could win only 473 seats in 2017, whilst there was once a 10 occasions building up in BJP's tally from 36 seats in 2012 to 297 in 2017.
In the final one year, he has announced over a dozen social welfare schemes for tribals, youths, rural other people, slum dwellers, ladies, farmers, weavers and artisans.
Naveen, the longest serving chief minister of the state, has always allowed his works to do the speaking. "I think ours is the only government in the country that has adopted the election manifesto as the agenda for governance in 2014. After four years, we found that almost all the promises we made have been fulfilled," said finance minister Shashi Bhusan Behera.
The state attracted lot of attention when the Naveen government introduced the Jaga scheme, touted as the sector's biggest slum challenge, underneath which slum dwellers were provided land rights. The scheme said to have benefitted over 10 lakh other people residing in 2,500 slums was once lauded via none instead of Ratan Tata, chairman, Tata Trusts and famend architect Lord Norman Foster.
Silencing its critics over the rising unemployment within the state, the government introduced the Biju Yuva Vahini, a volunteering and leadership programme for teenagers within the age team of 15 to 35 years, comprising greater than 30% of the state's inhabitants. The goal is to sign up over four lakh youths in 3 years. Around Rs 450 crore can be spent all over this era.
The state shaped particular construction councils in nine districts, where tribals are greater than 50% of the inhabitants. The council will lend a hand within the conservation of tribal culture, recognition of indigenous knowledge and documentation of tribal culture, custom and practices. It is the primary of its kind initiative within the country for indigenous other people comprising 22% of the state's inhabitants.
This aside, Naveen introduced the 'Mo School' programme - a programme to reconnect with one's alma mater, 'Mo Pari' marketing campaign towards sexual abuse of minors and Khushi scheme to offer unfastened sanitary napkins to 17 lakh school girls and napkins at subsidy to rural ladies.
Unfazed via criticisms over his lack of command over Odia, Naveen has taken steps for promotion and growth of Odia language. The state government's effort to place Bhubaneswar within the sports activities map of the sector via organizing national and world events and strengthening infrastructure has been liked throughout spectrums.
During his fourth time period, Naveen has made optimum use of generation to reach out to the hundreds. He steadily speaks to other people over videoconferencing whilst allocating for different projects as demanded via villagers underneath Ama Goan...Ama Bikash (over village.. our construction) scheme. The rural attach programme was once introduced on March 5, the beginning anniversaery of former chief minister the late Biju Patnaik.

Projects price Rs 200 crore have already been sanctioned underneath it and the state government targets to spend Rs 1,250 crore earlier than the polls. He also responds to other people on the most important problems over social media like Facebook and Twitter.
Reacting on implementation of schemes, leader of opposition Narasingha Mishra said time will only tell whether those programmes purpose at construction of the folks and provide them social security or simply serve some petty political purpose.
