Odisha Govt To Spend Rs 3234 Cr More On KALIA Scheme

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Friday decided to allocate an additional Rs 3,234 crore for implementation of the Krushak Assistance for Livelihood and Income Augmentation (KALIA) during 2019-20.

This is in accordance with the State Cabinet’s decision on May 29 to include 32.34 lakh additional beneficiaries under the scheme to ensure that no eligible beneficiary will be left out.

The beneficiaries will include small and marginal farmers, sharecroppers (actual cultivators) and landless agricultural households in the KALIA scheme, apart from the farm families already provided with financial assistance during 2018-19.

Out of a total of 75 lakh farm families to be included in the KALIA scheme, 50 lakh will be small and marginal farmers and sharecroppers while the remaining 25 lakh will be landless agricultural households. This can be modified between the categories by the state government subject to the overall target under these two components of 75 lakh farm families.
