The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has sanctioned a project amount of Rs8.4 crore for road and drainage facilities at Gangotri Nagar under Sisupalgarh gram panchayat. Culture and Tourism Minister and local MlA Ashok Panda had made sustained efforts for sanctioning of the project fund. He had been holding discussions with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and the NABARD Chairman.
Notably, many handicraftsmen, noted music and dance artists are residing in the area, for which many foreign tourists visit to the place. Restoring of the road and drainage problems will make the area recognized as a clean and structured region. Gangotri Nagar Development Committee President Suryanand Das, Secretary Surendra Kumar Mohapatra and other members expressed their gratitude to the Minister for his endeavour towards the project fund.
