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.

A global IT outage caused by a faulty CrowdStrike software update disrupted businesses worldwide on Friday. The glitch affected Microsoft Windows users, causing widespread system crashes known as the "Blue Screen of Death." Airlines, banks, and media outlets faced significant disruptions, with some airports resorting to handwritten boarding passes. CrowdStrike, a major cybersecurity provider serving many Fortune 500 companies, has deployed a fix but warns full recovery may take time. The incident has raised questions about over-reliance on single software providers and the importance of thorough quality checks before updates are released.
