This has benefited nearly 17 lakh farmers, he said. Issues of good governance, best practices by states, security measures, and development initiatives were discussed at the meeting after passing of two resolutions on the success of Operation Sindoor and the prime minister’s announcement on caste census, said deputy chief minister KV Singh Deo, who also joined the meeting along with his counterpart Pravati Parida.
In a post on X, Majhi said, “A day of high-energy discussions, bold ideas, and actionable insights on governance, development and nation-building.
