The Odisha government is set to release financial assistance of more than ₹833 crore under the CM-KISAN scheme, with the funds to be transferred directly into beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.

The state-level programme will be held at the OUAT Krushi Shiksha Sadan in Bhubaneswar, where Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi will formally launch the disbursement.
