In sharp contrast, Make in India, with its Orissa counterpart, “Make in Odisha”, is not that far away from remote regions such as Malkangiri. The Make in Odisha website flaunts this tagline: “In the land of Sun Temple, opportunities shine bright.” Indeed, in the land of the Sun Temple, the sun shines bright every day on mines of mica, bauxite, gemstones, iron ore, limestone, manganese ore, mineral sand, nickel ore, pyrophylite, quartz and other varieties of mineral wealth. Malkangiri, in particular, hosts dolomite, asbestos, tin and steatite in its natural underground vaults. Make in India cannot happen if these minerals are not used to make money. Who, then, stands between Make in India and the minerals under the topsoil? Well, Malkangiri does—its people, hills, forests, the birds and animals for whom it is habitat, the mushrooms that grow from tree barks, the crops that grow with human sweat, which stops Make in India from meeting Malkangiri, and thereby wasting the opportunities of economic growth shining on the land of the Sun Temple.
