A completed project that safeguards tradition and supports the people behind it.
Under the **ABADHA Scheme**, OBCC has completed the **Ratha Godown & Staff Quarters Project**, developed for the systematic storage of chariot components and improved residential facilities for staff.
The project includes a dedicated **G+1 Ratha Godown/Storage Building** for storing the equipment and wooden components of the three sacred chariots — **Nandighosha, Taladhwaja and Darpadalana** — after their dismantling.
Designed with practical and long-term utility in mind, the facility features truck-accessible movement, motorised rolling shutters, an open wood deposit platform, firefighting provisions, and a **5 Ton Gantry Crane** for safe lifting, loading, unloading and stacking.
The project also includes **D-Type and E-Type Staff Quarters**, providing accommodation for around **48 families**. With internal roads, parking, boundary wall, stormwater drainage, water supply systems, modular STP, CCTV, rooftop solar panels, solar street lighting and landscaping, the completed project brings together functionality, safety, sustainability and staff welfare.
Through this ABADHA project, OBCC continues to contribute to infrastructure that respects Odisha’s living traditions while strengthening facilities for the future.
