Pradhan thanked the state government, CM Mohan Charan Majhi and Deputy CM Singh Deo for setting up the Krushi Bhavan.
“It will play a key role in the development of agriculture sector in the region,” said Pradhan.
The Union Minister also praised the BJP-helmed Odisha government for various initiatives, including enhanced paddy MSP for improvement of agriculture sector in the state.
Singh Deo, who is also the Agriculture Minister, said the new Krushi Bhawan will serve as a hub for policy implementation, research, and farmer-centric initiatives under the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment.
“This milestone reflects our collective vision for a developed Odisha and a thriving farming community,” Singh Deo said.
