- The 'Purvodaya' concept aims to accelerate development in the eastern states of India (Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Bihar, and North Eastern states). - This development includes infrastructure, industrial growth (like the original focus on steel), skill development, and entrepreneurship. - Significant infrastructure projects, including road and railway networks crucial for connecting the East and integrating it with the rest of the country, are key components of this development push. - The Buxar-Bhagalpur Expressway and the New Delhi-Kolkata Industrial Corridor are major infrastructure projects located in the Eastern region relevant to this initiative.
