Steel ministry, Japan join hands for steel usage workshops

The first such workshop was held recently at Bhubaneswar attended by minister of petroleum and natural gas and steel Dharmendra Pradhan.

Speaking on the occasion Pradhan said that with Japan as the partner country, he is looking forward to making Odisha, the nerve center of Purvodaya in the steel sector.

The government has given a clarion call for Mission Purvodaya in the eastern region for driving the national growth and propelling India towards becoming a $5 trillion economy.

Speaking about this initiative he said, “We are organizing a series of workshops to deliberate on how to increase steel usage in India. We have rightly chosen Japan as our partner country who will guide us for making the Indian steel ecosystem bigger both in qualitative and quantitative terms.”

Speaking about Japan-Odisha's connection, he said, “Japan and Odisha has age-old association. The iconic Dhauli Stupa built with Japanese support is a link between the two civilizations. Today after a few decades, we have again gathered here to rewrite history and write a new chapter in the growth of steel sector in Odisha with Japanese collaboration.”

Speaking about eastern India, he said, “The society of eastern India is aspirational - people are getting economically sound, their spending capacity is increasing. Eastern India will play a pivotal role in driving national economic growth and achieving PM Modi's vision of making India a $5 trillion economy.”

Odisha is the highest steel producing state in the country. By 2030, Odisha's steel production alone is set to cross 100 million tons a year and is going to be the nerve center of Mission Purvodaya in steel.
