During the interaction, Mr. Mahapatra advised them to learn from innovative interventions in the sectors of livelihood enhancement, development of industrial estates, product-based parks, community-based eco-tourism, empowering the women and enhancing their economic credibility through WSHG movement, auto-tuned disaster management, robust power supply network with private partnership, community-based forest management, conservation and management of urban forests,  supply of piped drinking water to HHs, creation of urban facilities like stadiums, gyms, parks, in rural societies, up-gradation of Government health facilities, innovative changes in Government schools, road connectivity etc.

He also advised them to learn from the transformational changes that could be made possible through IT applications, particularly in the fields of mineral excavation and transportation, financial management, public distribution system, demarcation of forest boundaries, creation of developmental data hub through satellite imagery, health service delivery, distribution of different types of scholarships, extension of social security measures, monitoring of afforestation, paddy procurement, monitoring of crop situation in agricultural lands etc. “IT application has also transformed the file movements and quick decision making”, he said.
