Odisha Governor Lays Foundation for 144 Lok Bhavan Staff Quarters in Bhubaneswar

The housing project aims to strengthen residential infrastructure for employees serving at Raj Bhavan and address the longstanding demand for quality accommodation for government staff.

According to officials, the project comprises 96 E-Type quarters spread across four blocks and 48 F-Type quarters across two blocks.

The six-storey residential buildings will feature stilt-floor parking and modern amenities designed to provide a comfortable living environment for employees and their families.

The construction work will be executed on a turnkey basis and is targeted for completion by May 2028.

The new residential complex is expected to ease accommodation shortages while enhancing employee welfare and administrative efficiency.

Speaking on the occasion, the Governor emphasised the importance of providing quality housing facilities to government personnel, noting that improved living conditions contribute significantly to productivity and service delivery.

Several senior officials attended the foundation-laying ceremony, including Dr Roopa Roshan Sahoo, Commissioner-cum-Secretary to the Governor, Priyabrata Samantara, Engineer-in-Chief (Civil), Manoj Mahananda, Chief Construction Engineer of the Central (R&B) Circle, and Arun Amitabh Pradhan, Superintending Engineer.

The initiative marks a significant step toward strengthening government infrastructure and supporting the welfare of employees serving in key administrative institutions of the state.
