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
Odisha is very much neglated comparison to other states of india.International airport is dream of every oriya people.they should not travel to other states while going outside of india….

Odisha is one of the poorest states of India (Bharat) although the state has huge minerals such as Iron ores, Buxites, etc. How the state will improve without having basic infrastructure like International Airport directly connecting to the World? I support this call to convert current airport to International standard and add flight services to Asia and Europe. I also propose to develop airports at Rourkela, Jharsuguda, Koraput, Sambalpur, Dhenkanal, Berhampur and Baripada/Balasore. The state need this to improve.
I strongly support this petition. Odisha should not be neglected anymore.
I strongly support this petition.
I fully support this petition. This will give the required impetus to the growth of tourism and industry in Odisha.
The long awaited Jharsuguda airport must be completed ASAP with a view to uograde it into an international one later because Jharsuguda is emerging as a major industrial power center. It will attract even more diversified industries because of ample supply of energy, proximity to raw materials,a willing and able work force, and rail connection to major cities of India. Since it is going to be greatest producer of energy, it is but logical to locate the propsed Power Management Institute in Jharsuguda.
I strongly support this petition. Odisha deserves the International Airport at Bhubaneswar and should not be neglected anymore.
Very much needed

Orissa needs a strategic vision fro its development
We demand International Airport in Odisha
An international airport between Chennai and Kolkata has become a necessity. Bhubaneswar is more viable than Vizag since AP already has an International airport in Hyderabad.
Jharsugda is growing like crazy. Govt of India should consider making an airport there.
