I was born in a small town called Rourkela in Odisha.Even though it has a small population and area,it is a planned city and has good schools.Also many people say that this city is a very good place for formal education because there is a competitive environment for entrance like JEE or medical.Here is the wiki link to Rourkela.
There is a steel and iron plant in the city which is the bread and butter of Rourkelites.Also Rourkela is famous for NIT.Please visit my city if you come to Odisha.I am sure you will like .
Right now i live in the city of temples,Bhubaneshwar which is located to the rest of India with a domestic airport.So if you plan to visit Bhubaneshwar give me a call.
