Immediate Upgradation of Airports of Odisha
To: The Prime Minister, Republic of India
Sub: Upgradation of Airports and Air connectivity in Odisha.
Dear Sir:
While each of India’s parts should progress for India to go ahead, some are really falling behind, increasing the GAP in development. Such is the case with Odisha. In recent past various central projects have not been located in the other areas of Odisha, in a distributed manner, under the plea that areas are not Air connected. We have seen this argument again and again and again.
The recent Central University of Orissa (CUO), of Koraput, is a case in point. It’s VC, under the deceptive cover of poor connectivity of Koraput, has started a parallel campus in BBSR, while operating from Kolkata. This must be stopped and will be stopped.
But what stands out is lack of Regional Airports in Odisha and it’s lack of overall Air connectivity. We are thus presenting an overall proposal of Air connectivity in Odisha, with a request you thus Sir, to kindly consider & implement the following at the minimum:
- Upgrade the 60 years old regional Airport at BBSR to an International Airport.
- Expedite and complete the construction of ongoing Domestic Airport in Jharsugda district, in western Odisha, within next two years.
- Reinvigorate and evaluate for a possible domestic airport for the unused South regional Jeypore Airport, Koraput in to action in next 2 years.
This will enable the remote areas of Odisha to be connected to the places of national importance and will prevent lack of air connectivity as a alibi, for not locating Institutes of National importance in the backward areas.
In addition to the above , Airports at Rourkela , Berhampur and Rayagada can be developed further in future which were once upon a time used for emergency landing. These airports can serve as feeder to the above full fledged Airports.
Justification & rationale for all of them are attached here.
Yours truly,
Citizens & Well wishers of Odisha

This a much awaited project that has to be undertaken at a lightning fast speed for a faster, convenient and comfortable connectivity of a rapidly developing state. This will also boost Odisha’s economy via scores of direct and indirect ways, in addition to providing a proper field for cultural exchange.

I AGREE WITH THE PETITION.
Please make BBSR airport as International airport.
I Like It Vary Mutch.
I am presently pursuing my bachelors from NIT Rourkela and we have faced much unwillingness from recruiters for placements, lone reason being air connectivity. This has quite affected the institute’s reputation and many a careers. Since NIT Rourkela is an institute of national importance, hopefully this petition could save future students from such problems.

It should must be improve.
As soonest as possible the required steps is to b taken by the Airport authourity of India(AAI) to upgrade the airstrip (maintained by SAIL, Rourkela steel plant) into an airport. Already it have a small runway in airstrip which could be expanded & for this suffiecent land are there. It would be batter if the Govt look for Rourkela before reaching to any conclusion about a new airport at Jharsugurda.
Airports in Odisha must be upgraded to improve the air connectivity in Odisha
SHOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE OF EVERY ODIA
