In a move to modernize governance, the Odisha government has introduced the State Institute for Transformative Initiatives (SITI). This think tank aims to facilitate evidence-based governance and foster innovation across various sectors.
The formation of SITI was proposed by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi during the annual budget presentation for 2026-27. This new body will replace the now-defunct State Planning Board, dissolved in 2024.
As Odisha gears up to achieve its ambitious visions of 'Samrudha' Odisha 2036 and 'Viksit' Bharat 2047, SITI will provide a strategic framework focusing on strategic policy making, innovation, and cooperative federalism. A governing council headed by the Chief Minister will oversee operations, ensuring strategic direction for the state's growth.
