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
I am also requesting to honorable Prime Minister of India. Do not do partiality with Orissa. People of Orissa will not forgive you and your government.

Indian Govt has left Orissa as backward states as comparatively than other states. We need drastically development of Orissa. I am appealing to Indian Priminister : Sh.Manmohan Singh : Please don’t play with development of Orissa (Jyoti Sarangi)
I strongly support this petition for the development of Odisha

I want to see Orissa as one of the best state in India
Odisha has all the potential to be the best state. The plans earlier made were very short sighted but this time govt should make a concrete plan for the infrastructure development.

Supporting fully on this nobel initiative. Lets make Odisha better.
Dear Sir,
It is pity that the contribution of the city of Rourkela for the alround growth of the state as well as the country has been very much undermined. I whole heartedly support the petition. It is high time that Govt should seriously think how quickly the Infrastructures can come.
Thanks for the initiation.

THIS IS HIGHLY ESSENTIAL FOR THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
This is essential for faster communication.
The process of upgradation of the Airport should be done immediately, otherwise it will never be done
Orissa is always neglected from central. At least give this to us. Thank you
Please we need better infrastructure.
Kindly do the needful
We need this infrastructure for devloping Odisa state , this state have great role in devloped India.
First step into development is Connectivity . Even though we are attracting big FDIs , we do not have modern airports to support that . Center should approve to upgrade airports of Odisha,
Orissa being rich in heritage and natural resurces deserves a better connectivity.
I am really looking forward to see an international airport in our state.
I strongly support this petition.

Yes BBSR airport should be made an international airport.
Its very urgent to improve air connectivity across Odisha.

Mentioned airports will help Orissa move ahead
I Strongly Support the issue for the great heritage state
