Context
Odisha is currently undergoing a swift demographic transition, influenced not just by population size and growth rate, but also by the composition and distribution of its people, alongside shifts in their behaviours and aspirations. The evolving demographic landscape in Odisha is poised to impact various aspects, including education, the labour force, aging, social security provision, maternal and child health, and numerous other dimensions. This transformation holds particular significance for Odisha as it approaches the centenary celebration of its formation in 2036.
