It had been long time to get a chance to trip my home town Jharsuguda. Finally I stretched to Jharsuguda after a long interval, rather I should thank to the District Athletic meet for which I got a span to go there.
I must say, District Athletic Meet had been beautifully organized by Jharsuguda Dist Athletic Association from 15th December to 17th in the local railway ground. Later I came to know, Vedanta had come forward to sponsor the event. It was really good to hear that.
Whatever the reason may be, it was a grand occasion for the local athletes to participate. I was very happy to see many athletes in the occasion. From school level, college level and local sports club many athletes participated to make the meet a grand success. On the closing ceremony, MP Rajyasabha Mr. Kishore Kumar Mohanty, Vedanta Sr. VP Mr. DK Singh, Sr. Railway officials and other dignitaries graced the event. They distributed the prizes to the successful athletes. Mr. Mohanty wished the sportsmen to try hard and to do better in future. Mr. DK Singh also assured the ever support of Vedanta in the sports endeavour of Jharsuguda towards the sustainable development. He applauded the participants for their effort in the ground. But the entertainment of the programme rose to its peak cherishing the eye catching stage performance of the local children. Really it was a good experience. Heartily I appraised Vedanta for its effort to support Dist. Athletic association for bringing out many sport talents from the villages.
Next morning, I had to go to Bhurkamunda (a small village near Jharsuguda town) for a personal work. It is worth mentioning that the road transportation from Brundamal to Bhurkamunda has really transformed. The day was there, when it was quite difficult to take a cycle to the village. But now, Vedanta has renovated the road and as a result, many small cabs can be seen running in the route. On requirement, you just come out from the home and you will certainly get a cab, like big cities. Though, sometime small jams are seen in the Brundamal- Jharsuguda road but we also have to admit, every progress has its own pros and cons. It can be seen, for the smooth traffic movement in the route, Vedanta has deputed its security personnel.
You must agree, the road transportation in the town has improved a lot. Certainly, we have been witnessing a sound development in Jharsuguda, from a small town to a developed city.
Wish you an Energetic and a Blissful New Year: 2011
