DeMo's objectives were good, implementation wasn't: Odisha FM Behera at State of State conclave

Shashi Bhusan Behera, Odisha's Minister for Finance and Excise department, delivered the keynote address at India Today's State of the State Odisha Conclave in Bhubaneshwar.

The topic of his speech was 'Fast-tracking Odisha's growth: Centre-state partnership.'

On demonetisation, he said  the objectives of the note ban were good, but not the implementation.

India Today's annual State of the States (SoS) survey has emerged as a benchmark for analyzing the performance of the provinces - the primary units of governance. "State of State" is a step ahead of the SoS survey where an X-ray view of each state is prepared, and a micro-analysis at the district, city, town and village level is done.
