📢@OVCOdisha kicks off in its sixth edition, supported by iFOREST and @CYSDOdisha. Speaking at the inaugural, @jagada_odisha said, "We stand today at a critical intersection of demographic transition and climate resilience. These two profound forces influence everything. It makes me happy that our state recently finalised its vision document, laying out its bold long-term aspirations. But to realise this vision, we need hands on the ground, institutions that work together and partnerships built with purpose. In this context, OVC is a space for collective imagination. One of the highlights this year is the institutionalisation of a Just Transition Forum." #OVC2025 #OdishaNews @Srestha, @Bh_Chandra, @mandvi7, @prats_phoenix

The Odisha Vikash Conclave is underway. 🗣️Speaking at the inaugural session, Programme Director for Just Transition and Climate Change, @sresthab said, "Climate change is no longer just a scientific concern—it is a development challenge. Its impacts are being felt locally, especially in climate-vulnerable states like Odisha, where rising heat and rapid urbanisation demand climate-resilient growth pathways. Climate action must be people-centred, inclusive, and rooted in just transition principles. As we build a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy—across cities, rural areas, agriculture and industry—the private sector and civil society must move together. Our new Climate and Just Transition Forum aims to bring citizens, industry and institutions into this collective effort to embed climate considerations at the heart of development planning" #OVC2025 #OdishaNews @OVCOdisha, @CYSDOdisha, @Srestha, @Bh_Chandra, @mandvi7, @prats_phoenix

#OVC2025 Headlining the event, Shri Manoj Ahuja, IAS (@SecyAgriGoI), said, “We must build a system that allows us to work collectively for the state’s progress, enabling every citizen to contribute —that is people-centric development. Pressure from people is a good thing; our resources exist for their welfare, and we must provide opportunities for growth and development. We have to trust our people and believe in their capability—more than 4.5 crore individuals with the ability to drive change. My key takeaway from OVC2025 is the philosophy of collaboration; that is the road to reform.” @OVCOdisha, @CYSDOdisha, @Srestha, @Bh_Chandra, @mandvi7, @prats_phoenix

Most Awaited OVC-2025 inaugurated at Mayfair with a large gathering. @jagada_odisha Nadeem Noor, Chandra Bhushan, @sresthab @RTandon_PRIA & Chief Guest @SecyAgriGoI emphasized collaboration, climate resilience, demography, and people-centric development. @iForestGlobal #OVC

At the @OVCOdisha Climate Justice panel, experts urged community-led data, hybrid systems, and breaking governance silos. Quotes highlighted urgency: “Data should be a communal good” and “Where is the community in data mapping?” @B2V_Bharat @AvimukteshB @CommonGround_IN

Odisha’s just transition needs community-led planning and stronger local coordination. "Local ownership drives sustainable outcomes, said Shri Ambika Nanda."Grassroots platforms for joint action are missing" noted Shri Prashant Kumar Hota in the state. @OVCOdisha @iForestGlobal

Odisha’s climate risks demand Climate-Smart GPs and robust early warnings. Dr. Kamal Lochan Mishra stressed proactive resilience, Dr. Monorama Mohanty highlighted last-mile alerts, and Jyotiraj Patra emphasized capacity, convergence, and coalition. @Youth4WaterIn @OVCOdisha

Youth are key in building climate-resilient, people-centered cities. Focused on sustainable public spaces, urban farming, and leadership, young people are driving solutions for Odisha’s climate challenges. @aaina_ngo @WRIIndia @OVCOdisha #OVC2025 #YouthLeadership 🌱
