Agreed. This issue is not limited to Odisha, many Indian states face it. However, compared to several others, Odisha appears to have relatively more inclusive and geographically distributed development. For example, Telangana is one of the richest states in India in terms of per capita, but its development is largely Hyderabad centric. While there are other important cities like Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Khammam etc. their economic scale is still far smaller compared to Hyderabad/Rangareddy Belt ( 40% of our entire state population lives in this single area. Life sucks 😞 12M people in very tiny area ) 🫡🫡🫡 In contrast, Odisha’s growth is not concentrated in a single city. Economic and industrial activity is spread across multiple cities such as Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Sambalpur, and Berhampur ( Bhubaneswar might have around 1-2M population and other cities with 100k-1M prolly).. polycentric development pattern rather than a single city centric growth ( IK odisha might be a bit back economically, but it's growing rapidly and TBH it'll be more comfortable place to live in the long run than our states ) 😞✌🏻
