All Odisha Villages To Get Internet Facility By March 2025: Minister Informs Assembly

Bhubaneswar: The government will ensure Internet facility in all villages of the state by March 2025 as steps are being taken for expansion of mobile network, the state Assembly was informed on Monday.

This was stated by Electronics and IT minister Mukesh Mahaling while replying a question by Congress MLA Rama Chandra Kadam in the House. He said Odisha has as many as 47,902 mobile towers out of which 12,605 have 5G coverage.

The Minister said that the government is committed towards expansion of mobile network services and ensuring maximum coverage of villages and inaccessible areas by next year.

Efforts are on to expand mobile services across the state, especially in inaccessible areas, and all unconnected villages will have access to network connectivity by March 2025.

The Minister also stressed that all district administrations will have an ADM-led task force to look into all aspects of setting up mobile towers including acquisition of land.

The BJP government is now making concerted efforts to bridge the connectivity gap and make all villages have access to mobile and internet services.
