WHY MAKE IN ODISHA CONCLAVE (MIO) WILL NOT SUCCESSFUL IN INDUSTRIALISATION OF ODISHA.

(1)Participation of Odiya Entrepreneur in MSMEs is very low as compared to the state of GUJARAT.

As per the Govt. of India annual report of MSMEs Enterprise (2020-21), the State of Uttar Pradesh has the largest number of estimated MSMEs with the largest share of 14.20% of the total MSMEs in the country. West Bengal comes 2nd position in India with 14%, whereas Tamil Nadu & Maharashtra?each 8%, stands 3rd position in India , Karnataka 6% and Gujarat?& Rajasthan each 4% ,

?But our state Odisha is Less than 1%, for which Odisha state is not developed industrially till 2022, after the completion of 75 years of Independence.

Why do Odiya people not at all give the interest to do Business in the state of Odisha?

(2) There is no Eco system developed with large Manufacturing Units to grow the MSMEs sector in Odisha.

India has more than 7.9 million MSME Enterprises as of 27th March,2022.according to the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.

MSMEs provide large employment opportunities at lower capital costs than large industries. As per the 73rd National Sample survey(2015-16), India’s MSME sector comprises 63 million units and has created 111 million jobs.

The state of GUJARAT alone produces 16% of the industrial production of the country. Gujarat state in the country only has 3.5 Million ( 35Lakhs of MSMEs) Units in the state, which are the key source of employment and play an essential role in the larger Industrial ecosystems.

But in the state of Odisha only 3.91 Lakh MSME Units by the end of 2018-19. There is no ecosystem in Odisha with larger manufacturing Units in the state of ODISHA.

Why Odiya people are not interested for develop their business to World Class?

(3)Very Low Amount of Loan facilities sanction to MSMEs Sector in Odisha:-

2.86 Lakh crore was sanctioned for the ECLGS scheme to the MSME sector in India

A Loan Amount of Rs.18,996 Crore was extended to MSMEs in Gujarat under the Emergency Credit Line?Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) till?21st Jan 2021. Gujarat is the third highest borrower state in India. Maharashtra state is the highest borrowing state in the country Rs.30,324 Crore and Tamil Nadu is the third Rs.20,903 Crore.

The largest public sector bank SBI?offers loans to 20,182?MSME enterprises, sanctioned Rs.644.82 Crore. SIDBI, sanctioned?Rs.. 1000 Crore to Odisha?Govt. for development of MSME?clusters, credit to small business in 2022. Which is very very as compared to Other developed states of Gujarat & Maharashtra.

Why in Odisha Financial Institutions not taking an Interest to give financial support to New and existing Businessman to grow the Industry?

(4) Odisha state is very rich in Metals&Minerals But very Low in Exports as compared to Gujarat.

The state of Odisha is a leading producer of Chromite, Graphite, Bauxite, Manganese ore, Iron Ore, Sillimanite, Quartzite, Pyroxenite, and Dolomite.

Odisha is the 8th Place in India in NITI Aayogo’s export index 2021. But the state of Gujarat is the No1 position 2nd is Maharastra and the 3rd is Tamil Nadu.

The state of Odisha Exports as per (15-16) financial data shows that:-

?(a)Engineering & Chemicals?allied products??Rs. 7.85 Crore

(b)Minerals Products??????????????????????????????????????Rs.14.47 Crore

(c.)Agriculture & Forest Products????????????????????Rs.1.33 Crore

(d)Marine Products including Fish???????????????????Rs.11.22Crore

Gujarat mainly exports petroleum products, pearls, precious metals, semi-precious stones, and organic chemicals.

The Only state Gujarat exported only Rs. 8.37 Lakh Crore in the financial year 2021-22, Maharashtra exported 4.90 Lakh Crore, and?Tamil Nadu 2.34 Lakh Crores.

Though the state of Odisha is very rich in Metals & minerals, then why have the Industries not excelled in the export records than other developed states in India?

(5) Odisha state is very Low in Infrastructure facilities than other developed states GUJARAT:-

In Gujarat State:-

i)Railway Line- As per FY2020-21 total of 5301. Kilometer. In Odisha, it is only 2652 Kilometers.

(ii) Express Highways Road :- State Highways-18556Kilometer &National Highways3229 Kilometer.District Road is 31,231 Kilometers. But in Odisha, the express highways are only 2587 Kilometers. National Highways 9493 Kilometer.

(Iii) Electricity connection-As per 2020 records 1,38,44,,146 domestic consumers in Gujarat state. The state has 96% electrification as of 2022. But in Odisha, only 78.9% has electrification completed.

(iv)Airports & Ports:-The No of Domestic airports in Gujarat is 9. International Airport is 3 in the state of Gujarat. But in Odisha?domestic Airports are 9 and 1 International Airport. There are 42 non-major?ports?in Gujarat & 1 Major port –Kandala at Gujarat.But in Odisha only 13 Ports and 1 Major port is Paradeep.

v)Hospital facilities:-There are 2236 Hospitals?& 41129 Bad at Gujarat state?but in Odisha only 1799 Hospitals and 16497 Bad available in the state.

My Conclusion:-

The GDP of Gujarat is Rs. 19.44 Lakh Crore?as per (the FY21-22) report. Gujarat is 3rd in rank in India.GDP per capita?is Rs. 241,507. Per Capita Income Gujarat is 10th in rank in India. Gujarat is the 9th most populous state in India?with a population is 60.4 Million.

GDP of Odisha?Rs. 5.86 Lakh Crore as per (FY21-22).GDP rank is 16th in India.GDP per capita income is Rs. 1,27,383. Odisha is the 11th largest populated state in India having a population of 45.4 Million.

As per the report of 2019,(HDI) Human Development Index, the Gujarat state position is 21 and the Odisha position is 32, which is very low?according to Income, health, and education.

This is the Summary of the Development of Odisha state after 75 Years of Independence
