resources, allowed the companies and factories to survive and to flourish.

Aluminum, has never stopped, and neither it stopped the arrival of the new
economy, the IT sector. The strong administration and stable government also helped
a lot to nurture and nourish what already was present and simultaneously making
way for the new to come. Often, the attachment from the old doesn’t let the new
to come, but this was not the case with Bhubaneshwar. The government as well as
the citizen, welcomed the digital age and opened the gate to their city for

small scale industries for the livelihood.

and the citizens, all made it potential place to become an IT hub. The process
towards this direction has already started. With the monopoly of the places
like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida etc., in the IT sector, Bhubaneshwar has
