Sambalpur: The state government had proposed to set up a cold storage terminal to facilitate storage of perishable commodities as well as to provide better marketing opportunities to farmers of 10 districts of western Odisha.

Taking a step forward, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had laid the foundation stone here in 2014 and announced a grant during one of his visits to the district. However, after a lapse of five years no further progress has been made in this regard.

There has been no coordination between the contractor firm and the state government. The contractor was asked to deposit a sum of Rs 1.3 crore for conversion of land type of the government land, which was identified for the purpose.

Despite repeated letters, the firm says, “Civil construction work will start after the government provides land”. Notably, the cost of building materials has escalated in the mean time further enhancing the estimated project cost.

In such circumstances, the proposed cold storage terminal has eluded farmers of western Odisha as the contractor firm is now backtracking. Local farmers have demanded a time-bound completion of the project.

The state government had identified 60 acres at Nildunguri village under Jujumara tehsil in Sambalpur district which is 16 km from the district headquarters with an estimated cost of Rs 7.4 crore. It is said, the estimated cost has now escalated to more than 100 crore, after five years.

Moreover, the proposal for the cold storage terminal was put up during a review meeting December 12, 2013, presided over by then Chief Secretary Jugal Kishore Mohapatra and subsequently approved by the Union Agriculture Ministry.

Reports said, the project included large capacity cold storage facilities for agricultural produces, quality control systems, multiple jetties, weighing and packaging facilities for local farmers.

It was proposed to ensure the food security programme in the region, along with giving reasonable price to farmers for their crops. Furthermore, the project targeted to collect foodgrains from farmers of Kalahandi, Subarnapur, Bolangir, Boudh, Sundargarh, Angul, Nuapada, Bargarh, Jharsuguda, Deogarh and Sambalpur districts.

It is known that wide varieties of flowers, vegetables, fruits, medicinal plants, oilseeds and pulses are grown in this region of western Odisha and the project would immensely support farming activities.

Koraput Central University opens centre to impart digital literacy to tribal students Koraput: To improve digital skills and literacy among tribal youth, the Central University of Odisha launched tribal digital literacy programme at its campus in collaboration with Forum for integrated development and research (FIDR), Bhubaneswar. The unit will be operational at the Centre for Tribal Welfare and Community Development (CTWCD) of the University at Koraput to train the youth belonging to ST, SC, OBC, and other marginalised communities of Koraput district on digital skills. The centre was formally inaugurated by Vice Chancellor in-charge of the University Prof Sharat Kumar Palita along with the founder chairman of FIDR, Charudatta Panigrahy. Palita said that launching of the programme is a landmark event in the sense that it offers hope for the marginalized sections of the Koraput district to be digital literate, a step towards self-employability. Though the programme starts with some basic computer courses, it will offer higher courses in future. Panigrahy emphasized on the development of the livelihood of the people of backward regions by referring to Atma Nirbhar Bharat launched by the Government of India. He was optimistic that this programme will benefit the local people and their socio-economic parameters will increase. Director of ST, Guha Poonam highlighted the rich tribal culture, art, craft, tradition and education. Appreciating the University's effort towards imparting digital education in Koraput, she hoped that this programme should be a game changer in tribal development. She highlighted various schemes and projects for integrated tribal development and assured assistance from the state government whenever necessary. Local MLA Raghuram Padal highlighted the importance of education for all-round development. He said “the University is successfully creating the aspiration level of people in the Koraput region on higher education. Majority of students of this region took admission in CUO to get their higher education”. The Tribal Digital Literacy Centre aims to provide computer knowledge to marginalized sections of the society in the age group of 16-25 years free of cost for a period of three years.
