Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday wrote a letter to Narendra Modi urging his intervention to facilitate early construction of the proposed National Institute of New Energy and Innovation in the State capital.
Patnaik stated, “Odisha had taken several steps in accordance with the National Development Goals in the Renewable Energy sector. The State Government has already allotted 73.86 acres of land for free near IIT, Bhubaneswar. However, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is yet to take possession of the land and start construction of the building.”
