The Alliance brought together senior government officials, research institutions, private sector partners, civil society organisations, development agencies and policy experts to jointly scale up climate-smart agriculture practices across the state.

Principal Secretary Arabinda Kumar Padhee said climate change cannot be addressed in isolation and requires concerted efforts to mitigate and adapt to its adverse impacts. In this direction, the Odisha Climate Smart Agriculture Alliance (OCSAA) will serve as a platform to showcase and implement climate-smart technologies prioritised by CSTEP across the state through various partner organisations.
