ODISHA: India's Best Kept Secret
The state Odisha which falls on the eastern side of India is having a unique tagline "India's best kept secret" and I would say it properly defines its tagline. Having Bhubaneswar as its Capital city this state is now triumphing in various sectors. Once upon a time, Odisha used to be known as the second poorest state of India but, it stood up on its own, and now sectors like; Sports, Tourism, Disaster Management, Modernization, and Culture. It is doing commendable development. 1. Sports: On Feb 12, 2023, an article from "Hindustan Times" stated that, after the spectacular success of the Asian athletics championship in 2017 and the hockey men's world cup in 2018, Odisha is complimented with the title of 'sports capital of India'. Hockey being India's national game it was never so much celebrated in India. But, for the first time in history govt. of Odisha became the official sponsor of the Indian hockey team, both men's and women's.
