Noted artist Padma Shri Sudarshan Pattnaik has already displayed a unique sand art to welcome the guests at the airport here while the way to the venue, Janata Maidan, would be adorned with over 30 trivia brandings.

Drawn from the ‘Vision 2025: Odisha Industrial Development Plan’, the ‘Make in Odisha’ would make its best to highlight Odisha as an ultimate investment destination and diversify its investment opportunities across key focus sectors namely downstream and ancillary in metal, food processing, including seafood, chemicals, petrochemicals and plastics, textiles and apparel, defence, electronics, start-ups and tourism.
