The laterite bricks and the plants, the impressive command-and-control centre and the quiet millet café, the climate resilience cell and the creche for the children of employees, as well as the queues of corporate visitors lined up, all reflect a compelling story that's unfolding in Odisha's rural heartland. Under CM Majhi's strong and empathetic lead, Odisha’s agriculture sector is seeing rapid, transformative growth. Over the past year, key steps have not only boosted farmer incomes but also built a smart, green, and lasting framework for farming. This is a real shift, bringing clear gains to millions who work the land, proving the government is acting on its promises.

Direct Aid, Swift Impact A cornerstone of the Majhi government's farmer-first plan is the boosted CM-KISAN Yojana – a flagship scheme that has become a lifeline for small, marginal, and landless agricultural households. Chief Minister Majhi himself led the disbursement of a substantial ₹1,025 crore to over 51 lakh farmers during Akshaya Tritiya (April 2025). This crucial financial injection was part of the annual ₹4,000 input support, strategically delivered in two instalments for Kharif and Rabi seasons. Relaunched in September 2024, through this, vital financial aid reaches farmers via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
