The Odisha government is implementing administrative reforms focused on standardization and digital transformation. 

Initially, the state expanded the use of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) protocols across public procurement, infrastructure, and essential services. This initiative includes establishing a modern BIS office and laboratory complex for testing materials like steel and aluminium, alongside training programs for various state departments. The state also aims to promote consumer protection through the BISCARE App and integrate government portals with BIS systems.

Following these standardization efforts, the government issued a directive to mandate end-to-end digital delivery for 451 public services. The goal is to eliminate manual interventions and ensure services are ‘digital and faceless’ from submission to final delivery, reducing the need for citizens to visit physical offices except when legally required for tasks such as biometric authentication.
