At the inaugural function of the 'Symposium on Shree Anna and Strengthening Seed System for Landraces-2026', the Hon’ble Deputy CM (Agriculture & Farmers’ Empowerment and Energy) highlighted that Odisha is the only state in India celebrating Mandia Divas on a grand scale.

Emphasizing the state government's proactive initiatives to promote organic cultivation and popularize millets, he noted Odisha’s rapid emergence as the "Millet Hub of India." He further remarked on the nation's remarkable agricultural transformation, highlighting how India has evolved from a grain-importing country into a self-sufficient global contributor to food security.
