Bhubaneswar, Oct 19: The Odisha government has decided to change the name of ‘Ama Odisha Nabin Odisha’ scheme to ‘Bikashita Gaon, Bikashita Odisha’, informed Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water Minister Rabi Narayan Naik on Saturday.

Speaking to mediapersons here, the Minister said, “The State government will issue a guideline within two days to change the name of ‘Ama Odisha Nabin Odisha’ scheme.”
