Parnaik, who recently visited remote Vijoynagar in Changlang district, suggested the promotion of non-conventional energy resources such as solar lighting.

He advised the deputy chief minister, who is also the in-charge minister of economics and statistics, to automate official data in the state.

Parnaik said the automation would help the government conduct a comparative analysis of the decadal growth of the state and identify areas that require more attention, funding and initiatives.

The Governor commended the state government for the participation in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra and Sewa Aapke Dwar campaigns in reaching out to the people and providing benefits under various schemes and programmes to eligible beneficiaries, the communiqué added. (PTI)
