In an effort to address the accommodation challenges encountered by the visitors in the Capital City, the Odisha government plans to offer dedicated guest houses in Bhubaneswar for each district across the state.
As per sources, each facility, set to comprise 100 rooms, will cater to individuals visiting the capital for healthcare services, educational objectives, or to engage with government offices, thereby providing accommodation without financial strain.
With many individuals across various districts of the state travelling to Bhubaneswar seeking various services, the high cost of hotels and other lodging options often presents a significant hurdle.
In a bid to alleviate this, designated guest house facilities will be introduced, allowing guests to conduct their activities conveniently.
The initiative will see the creation of as many as 3,000 rooms for all 30 districts. Each guest house will bear the name of its respective district, fostering a sense of belonging and regional representation.
"The state government is planning to construct guest houses for each district in Bhubaneswar so that the visitors of these districts will get an opportunity to stay at those guest houses when they come to the state capital for various works. It has been proposed that each guest house will have 100 rooms and there will be a total of 3,000 rooms for 30 guest houses," said Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari.
"The fees for the visitors for staying at the guest houses will be decided later," he added.
