A ginning and bale processing unit of cotton will be established in the cooperative sector at Digapahandi in south Orissa’s Ganjam district at a cost of Rs 1.2 crore.
This was announced by the officials of the Regulated Market Committee (RMC) while the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurated the market yard at Digapahandi for the cotton farmers.
The market yard spread over 6.15 hectares (15.19 acres) of land, is being established under the Technology Mission for Cotton (TMC) under the Union ministry of textiles.
Around Rs 3 lakh is being spent on the development of the market yard. While the TMC had sanctioned Rs 1.50 lakh, the remaining amount would be met from the Rashtriya Krushi Vikash Yojana (RKVY) and RMC.
The market yard will facilitate the cotton farmers in Ganjam distict to market their products, the chief minister said while inaugurating the yard. The market yard has all infrastructure facilities including two godowns, each with a capacity of 500 tonnes, as well as cover shed, testing and training facilities for the farmers.
The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan under the Union ministry of human resource development (MoHRD) has decided to open eleven more central schools in the state from this year.
The Union Cabinet’s Committee on Economic Affairs (CEA) has recently cleared the proposal for setting up 107 new Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country during the remaining part of the Eleventh Plan Period (2007-12).
