While Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurated a three-day Make in Odisha Conclave here on Wednesday, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley would attend the event as chief guest on Thursday. Patnaik would also accompany the Jaitley.
SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya would also attend the State’s biggest-ever investment summit.
Jaitley would address a seminar on “Indian Economy: The New Normal” organised by the BJP Odisha unit here on Thursday. The party has invited industrialists, chartered accountants, traders, doctors, engineers, lawyers and academicians to the seminar.
With more than 100 companies taking part in the first edition of the conclave, a special defence hangar has also been created which showcases India’s short to long-range missiles Agni, Prithvi, Brahmos and Akash as well as the Sukhoi aircraft engines manufactured in Odisha.
The State Government hopes that the business summit would create opportunities for investment worth around Rs1 lakh crore. Besides, the mineral and metal sectors, the Government would also give focus on non-mineral sectors at the summit.
