Public Cause

Drone Centre of Excellence

Kumar’s approach to the development of his nodal district, Kalahandi, has been noted for its innovative character and has been viewed as a model for similar initiatives. Under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY), he established India's first Centres of Excellence for Drone Technology (CoEs) in two government schools located in the villages of Sagada and Bhatangpadar in Kalahandi district. [58] [59] The initiative aims to equip tribal youth, particularly women, with advanced skills in drone technology, thereby promoting technical empowerment and fostering a new generation of "drone didis." [60]

Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY)

In 2020, Mr Kumar adopted the Gram Panchayats of Sagada and Bhatangpadar in Kalahandi district, Odisha, under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) with the objective of advancing inclusive and participatory rural development. [61] Both GPs, home to a population comprising more than 95% Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, had long experienced deficits in basic infrastructure, education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities, and had been significantly affected by Left-Wing Extremism despite their proximity to the district headquarters of Bhawanipatna. Their selection under SAGY was intended to address these structural gaps and demonstrate a replicable model of rural transformation through targeted, convergence-based interventions. Development activities undertaken included road construction, provision of safe drinking water, installation of solar lighting, creation of smart classrooms, construction of girls’ hostels, skill development programmes, and the promotion of environmentally sustainable livelihoods. [62]

During the implementation period, Mr Kumar followed a multi-stakeholder approach involving district and block administrations, community institutions, civil society partners, and local representatives. Progress was regularly monitored through review meetings, field visits, and direct engagement with residents to ensure timely execution of projects and resolution of challenges. Support from successive state administrations and central leadership contributed to the continuity of the initiative. Through these coordinated efforts, SAGY in Sagada and Bhatangpadar aimed to strengthen local governance structures and foster measurable improvements in socio-economic indicators, positioning the two Gram Panchayats as emerging examples of sustainable and community-driven rural development. [63]

SDC Cup 2020

As the Advisor to the Special Development Council (SDC) of the Government of Odisha, Sujeet Kumar oversaw the organization of the SDC Cup 2020, a football tournament designed to engage indigenous youth from Odisha. The event featured competitive matches at district and state levels, culminating in a final match at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, attended by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik [64] and Indian football legend Bhaichung Bhutia. Supported by the Football Association of Odisha (FAO) and the All India Football Federation (AIFF), the championship involved over 10,000 participants from nine tribal-dominated districts, with competitions held in both men’s and women’s categories.

Kalahandi Dialogue

Kumar initiated the “Kalahandi Dialogue” (http://www.kalahandidialogue.org/) held in September 2018, as a collaborative platform to engage stakeholders including policymakers, global leaders, development practitioners, entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, elected representatives, intellectuals, and local citizens in discussions on development. [65] The event, hosted in Kalahandi, aimed to foster dialogue and action on regional development issues and served as an inspiration for similar platforms.

Legislative Engagement

Kumar was involved in legislative engagement and advocacy through Kalinga Kusum, a non-profit organization, in partnership with UNICEF. This initiative aimed to orient Odisha Legislative Assembly members (MLAs) on areas such as budgeting, child rights, and ease of doing business. Kumar provides mentorship support to Kalinga Kusum and promotes the use of technology to enhance governance and address critical challenges.

Child-Friendly Constituency (CFC)

Kumar played a role in conceptualizing and implementing the Child-Friendly Constituency (CFC) initiative, developed in collaboration with the Kalinga Kusum Foundation and UNICEF. The initiative focuses on creating constituencies that prioritize child welfare and rights. The first CFC project in India was implemented in the Khandapada Assembly Constituency of Odisha’s Nayagarh district, with the support of local MLA Anubhav Patnaik. The project received recognition from UNICEF for its innovative approach to promoting child-friendly policies.
