BHUBANESWAR -- Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will launch the free Wi-Fi service at Bhubaneswar railway station today.

The station will be the second station to be covered under the free Wi-Fi project, after Mumbai Central in January this year.

Under the Digital India initiative, Google and RailTel have collaborated to make Wi-Fi network available across 100 stations to deliver high-speed Internet to 10 million Indians a day by the end of this year.

The Railway Minister, who is on a two-day visit to the State, told media persons that Odisha will figure as one of the most developed state in the country in next 3-4 years and Railways will contribute a lot towards this.

He said that there are plans to set up two rail projects in Odisha one of which is at Narla in Kalahandi district.

Prabhu also said that a joint venture company would be formed to maintain coordination between the Centre and the State for speeding up various ongoing railway projects in Odisha.
