"In Mayurbhanj, around four lakh hectares constitute cultivable land, and out of that, 64% has an assured irrigation facility. During Kharif, with rain-fed irrigation, we cover 100% of the cultivable area, but during Rabi, irrigation drops to about one lakh hectares," he told ANI.
Mayurbhanj District Magistrate Hemakanta Say outlined on Thursday that there are several government schemes focused on "localised solutions" for education, healthcare, and economic self-reliance, specifically highlighting the focus on the education of tribal students.
