In gloomy hours of the pandemic’s second wave, farmers in Odisha have something to smile for. Hours after the Central government transferred ₹2,000 each to farmers’ accounts under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the Odisha government released ₹920 crore as part of its much vaunted Krushak Assistance for Livelihood and Income Augmentation (KALIA) scheme on Friday. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced the transfer of ₹920 crore to the accounts of 42 lakh small, marginal and landless farmers’ families. “KALIA scheme is the best scheme for farmers in entire country. This plan has brought smile on faces of farmers. It has also helped lessen debt burden of farmers,” Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said, congratulating farmers on eve of Akshaya Tritiya, an auspicious occasion that coincides with the beginning of the new farm season.
