As many as 2792 unconnected villages of Odisha will soon get 4G service under the ‘antyodaya’ vision. The project will provide 4G mobile services in 24,680 uncovered villages in remote and difficult areas.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 26,316 Cr. In addition more villages having only 2G/3G connectivity will be upgraded to 4G.
