The correct answer is: c) Planning & Convergence Ministry.
The Planning & Convergence Ministry is the nodal ministry for planning and convergence in Odisha. It is responsible for formulating and implementing the state’s development plans, as well as for coordinating the activities of other government departments and agencies. The ministry also plays a key role in mobilizing resources for development and in ensuring that development benefits reach all sections of society.
The Finance Ministry is responsible for the state’s finances, including revenue collection, expenditure, and debt management. The Industry Ministry is responsible for promoting industrial development in the state. The Rural Development Ministry is responsible for promoting rural development, including agriculture, irrigation, rural roads, and rural housing.
Each of these ministries plays an important role in the development of Odisha. However, the Planning & Convergence Ministry is primarily responsible for planned development in the state.
