Orissa is on the path of rapid industrialization and urbanization. On account of such development there is likelihood that it may cause adverse impact on environment and quality of life. For sustainable growth, a good management system needs to be in place to protect and safeguard environment and related conditions. State Pollution Control Board, Orissa is the apex body to keep the pollution under control in the State through enforcement of various environmental legislations. The management practices followed have been effective only in the short term. The Board felt the need of a strategic plan containing both the long-term goals and the short term objectives. On the request of the Board, Prof. Pratap K. J. Mohapatra of IIT, Kharagpur, who has his rich experience and expertise on the subject, has prepared the Vision 2030 document in consultation with the Board officials and other stakeholders. The Vision 2030 document has been developed through a consultative process. Attempt has been made to make it as comprehensive as possible with due attention on its implementability. The Board will be guided by various goals, objectives and strategies proposed in the Vision 2030 while preparing the annual plans and implementing the same. Any suggestions for improvement will be welcome. I take this opportunity to thank all those who have been involved to bring out this document.

Sri R.N. Senapati, I.A.S. CHAIRMAN
