Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday said the Odisha government is committed to expanding irrigation coverage to more than 90 per cent of the state’s cultivable land to realise its vision of a prosperous Odisha by 2036. Addressing a state-level programme on the Pani Panchayat system, he stressed that efficient water resource management is key to agricultural growth, economic development, and overall progress.

The Chief Minister announced that 1.5 million hectares of additional land will be brought under irrigation in the next five years through major, medium, and minor irrigation projects, lift irrigation systems, mega lift projects, and check dams. He highlighted the role of 40,380 active Pani Panchayats in managing irrigation across 2.412 million hectares and noted ongoing projects across several districts. Emphasising climate-resilient agriculture, Majhi said technology-driven and community-managed irrigation systems will strengthen farmers’ incomes and ensure sustainable development.
