Bill Gates arrives in Bhubaneshwar, visits slum and interacts with residents | Watch here | Oneindia

On Wednesday morning, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, alongside state government officials, made a notable visit to a slum in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Their destination was the Biju Adarsh Colony in the Maa Mangla Basti, where they engaged directly with the residents. Gates' purpose extended beyond a mere inspection of living conditions; he also took the opportunity to interact closely with women's self-help groups (SHGs) that operate within the area. This visit underscores the collaborative efforts between various departments of the state government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Together, they are striving to address critical issues within marginalised communities, particularly focusing on empowerment initiatives led by women's SHGs. The presence of such a prominent figure as Bill Gates highlights the importance of these grassroots efforts and signals a commitment to fostering positive change and inclusive development in Odisha's urban areas. #BillGates #NaveenPatnaik #BhubaneshwarVisit #SlumInteraction #CommunityEngagement #ResidentInteraction #Philanthropy #UrbanDevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment #SocialImpact #HumanitarianEfforts #BhubaneshwarCommunity #InclusiveDevelopment #CommunityOutreach #EmpoweringCommunities #BillGatesInIndia #CommunityBuilding #HumanitarianVisit #SocialChange #BhubaneshwarImpact #BuildingBetterCommunities ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~
