- | Friday | 10th July, 2020
Bhubaneshwar: PRAHAR (Public Response Against Helplessness and Action for Redressal), an NGO dedicated towards finding solutions for problems of the helpless, today called for a comprehensive national strategy targeting accelerated industrial growth in remote regions of India to bring relief to workforce which has receded there because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of continuing to push for industrial growth in corridors near urban centres, we need to incentivize expansion and setting up of new industries in remote regions with abundant labour workforce. Till the year 2000, the Kalahandi district used to be one of the most poverty-stricken regions of Odisha and India. Infrastructure impact: Connectivity of remote villages with district headquarters has improved substantially after Vedanta started its operations in the region. Environmental impact: Vedanta is maintaining ambient air and water quality around plant site through robust air, water and solid waste management.
