According to additional sources, the KALIA Yojana gives qualified farmers financial support twice a year, on Akshaya Tritiya and Nuakhai.
The State Government wants to provide farmers with an all-inclusive and adaptable assistance system through the implementation of the KALIA Scheme, assuring faster agricultural success.
A progressive programme like KALIA is driven by the need to provide state farmers with financing choices that would foster the expansion and improvement of agriculture in Odisha.
