These include roads, health centres, sports infrastructure, a library, and a park in memory of Dr. Harekrushna Mahatab.
Nine of the projects were inaugurated, while four new ones saw foundation stone laying. The district headquarters hospital will also be upgraded to improve health services.
Majhi announced a government university and said the foundation stone for a long-awaited medical college would be laid soon.

The event was attended by ministers, MLAs, and senior officials, who praised the government's focused approach to inclusive growth and infrastructure development.
