Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi is scheduled to visit Balangir district today to launch two significant digital initiatives: the e-Panchayat Sabha Portal and the Internal Audit Portal. He will also distribute work orders to beneficiaries of the Antyodaya Gruha Yojana. Furthermore, the Chief Minister will lay foundation stones and inaugurate various development projects in the district.

As reported, CM Majhi will arrive by helicopter, landing at the Police Parade Ground in Manoharpur. He will then head to the Circuit House and later attend the state-level Panchayati Raj programme at Gandhi Stadium. During the event, he will honor district councils, panchayat samitis, and gram panchayats, along with their officials, for their outstanding performance under the MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) and the Rural Housing Scheme.

Considering the current summer heat, the entire program has been scheduled for the evening. Senior leaders and officials, including Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Mukesh Mahaling, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water Minister Rabi Narayan Naik, and Lok Sabha MP Sangeeta Kumari Singh Deo, are expected to attend. Additionally, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water Department Secretary Girish SN will also be present.

This visit is anticipated to significantly enhance digital governance in panchayats and provide direct benefits to underprivileged communities through the Antyodaya Gruha Yojana in Balangir district.
