Deccan Chronicle  

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday announced a financial assistance package of Rs 291 crore to support farmers across the state who have been severely impacted by the recent unseasonal rains. The adverse weather conditions witnessed in the last week of December affected over 6.66 lakh farmers, resulting in significant agricultural losses, the Chief Minister stated on Sunday. He pointed out that despite having two critical positions in the government—Chief Minister and water resources minister—the former leadership had not made significant strides in addressing issues like irrigation, water management, and farm welfare. “As both Chief Minister and water resources minister, I am committed to ensuring that the government’s efforts are more coordinated and effective in meeting the needs of farmers,” CM Majhi remarked, adding the government was focusing on developing optimal farming practices that are in line with the challenges posed by adverse climatic conditions.
