According to official sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to visit Odisha for a day trip on September 17.
Modi is set to arrive at Biju Patnaik International Airport at 11:35 a.m., traveling in from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on an Indian Air Force aircraft.
The Prime Minister will travel directly to Janata Maidan to preside over the opening of the Subhadra Yojana and other development projects. The event is planned to take place between noon and 1 p.m. Following the program, PM Modi is slated to leave for New Delhi at 1:25 p.m.
This will be the Prime Minister’s first visit to Odisha since June 12, when he attended the swearing-in ceremony of the state’s first BJP-led administration led by Chief Minister Mohan Majhi.
The Odisha government has planned the commencement of the Subhadra Yojana, a flagship welfare project with a budget allocation of over Rs 55,000 crore, to coincide with PM Modi’s birthday. The initiative intends to provide financial help to more than 1 crore women in the state, aged 21 to 60 years. Beneficiaries will receive Rs 10,000 annually for five years, with the first payment set for September 17.
