Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
said technology and innovation can be a real game-changer for the agriculture
sector in Odisha.
"Farmers and farming in Odisha are
constrained by outdated labour intensive techniques due to lack of skill
development as a result of which the state's agrarian economy has lagged far
behind it's true potential and is always grappling with challenges," said
the Minister.
It is with this belief that AgriVikas2018
aims to contribute a small step in the long journey of scripting a new story
for Odisha's agriculture, he added.

"There has been a rise in production of
many agricultural products in Odisha but farmers here still depend on other
states for other essential goods. It has come as a challenge for Odisha to
attract market for the surplus produced goods," said Singh.The Total Investment & Insurance

"can help cure cancer", he said Odisha's Kandhamal district's
turmeric can be exported to the international market which would largely
