Orissa is in Eastern India. It is on the Bay of Bengal coast. Orissa is a unique place and it is gifted with golden beaches, waterfalls, serpentine rivers, forest-clad eastern ghat hills, and variegated wildlife. The entire Orissa has mesmerizing and vibrant tourist sides.

Orissa is the largest by area, and the population ranks it as the 11th largest in eastern India. It is enveloped by neighboring states such as Jharkhand, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.  As Orissa was not important strategically, very little was concentrated to improve the economic conditions of this state. But now, the face is changing due to industrialization.

Orissa is a glowing jewel featuring a coastline for 300 miles on the east to the Bay of Bengal.  The Eastern Ghats have mountains and high hills. Orissa houses three mighty rivers and dozens of sacred pilgrimage places.  It is spread over 1.55 lakh sq km as a sprawling area. The rural tranquillity is a beautiful bend with the adroitness of boisterous modernity. 

The state manufacturing activities are connected to natural resources. Orissa is abundant with mineral-based large-scale industries. It includes ferromanganese, steel, aluminum, cement nonferrous smelting, and fertilizer production.  The major industries include chemical manufacturing, aeronautics equipment, and ceramic products. The large-scale and heavy industries are in the state interior regions.

Most foundries are brass and aluminum, paper mills, and glassworks in the coastal plains. They are small-scale industries and include mills such as sugar, cotton textiles, and rice. There is a significant handicraft sector including the sericulture industry.
