Govt of Odisha is set to roll out a climate-resilient natural farming programme in tribal-dominated areas of five districts in a step toward sustainable agriculture. The project will be executed in collaboration with Andhra Pradesh government promoted Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS), to implement natural farming, they said.

The project, covering 3.15 lakh hectares of farmland, will be rolled out from 2022-23 fiscal with an investment of around Rs 312 crore over five years. A cluster approach will be adopted for the scheme, to be undertaken through women’s self-help groups (WSHGs) in Sundargarh, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Rayagada and Koraput districts.

The WSHGs will be trained for crop diversification, initial preparation of bio-inputs and pre-monsoon sowing. They will be assisted in the establishment of common facility centres for cleaning, grading, segregation and storage.
