 Set
in the lap of nature, Rourkela has come into prominence with the
establishment of the first of the three public sector steel plants set
up in India in 1955. Situated in the minerally rich belt of Orissa,
Rourkela marked a new era in the Steel Industry of India being the only
steel plant devoted primarily to the production of flat products and
sheets. Rourkela serves as the most convenient base for visiting the
places of interest in the district of Sundargarh.
Best time to visit
