Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s tableau did not roll on Janpath on this year’s Republic Day parade in New Delhi and it was for the second consecutive year that the state had to deal with the rejection.

Odisha, however, still has something to cheer about with the tableau of the Ministry of Civil Aviation being picked as ‘Best Tableau- Central Ministries/Department’.

The tableau showcased Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) – UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik) and the rich dividends it has been yielding.

While Odisha-cadre IAS officer Usha Padhee, MoCA Joint Secretary, was closely associated with the designing of the tableau which had Konark Wheel, the theme song was by Krishna Beura, an Odisha guy who is probably the first from his state to offer his voice as a male playback singer in Bollywood.

Check the complete list of awardees picked by the three panels of judges:

Notably, Odisha’s culture and heritage were last on display at the 71st Republic Day parade in New Delhi with a tableau on Rukuna Rath Yatra of Lingaraj Temple, which won the second prize. The state had won the first prize for its colourful and vibrant tableau in 2007.
