Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday appointed senior BJD leader and former minister Sanjay Das Burma as Deputy Chairman of State Planning Board with cabinet rank.
In February, the Odisha government had announced to restructure the Board on the lines of NITI Aayog.
Planning and Convergence Minister Padmanabha Behera had informed that the state government will follow the pattern of the Kerala government, which has been successfully formulating plans. “The roadmap of the new plan formulation is in the final stage and the state government will make an announcement very soon,” he had said.
Though deputy chairpersons and members were appointed to the Board regularly, it had become dormant for the last several years and was seen as a place for the rehabilitation of ruling BJD leaders.
Senior BJD leader and former Rajya Sabha member Bisnu Charan Das had earlier held this position.
