In a post on X, the Chief Minister said that more than 19 lakh farmer families have already benefited directly from the scheme. He emphasized that the government has fulfilled its promise to stand by farmers “from seed to market,” ensuring transparency and timely support.

CM Majhi highlighted that payments are being made to beneficiaries within 48 hours of paddy procurement through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), thereby guaranteeing both speed and accountability in the system. The initiative, he noted, represents a new transformation in Odisha’s agriculture sector, strengthening the financial security of farmers while promoting sustainable practices.

The scheme is designed to reduce dependence on middlemen and ensure that farmers receive fair compensation for their produce. By combining procurement support with input assistance, the government aims to enhance productivity and improve rural livelihoods.

Officials said the move reflects Odisha’s broader vision of empowering farmers and modernizing agriculture, while also aligning with national goals of food security and self-reliance.
