Bhubaneswar: The govt on Wednesday launched the findings of an evaluation of the department of agriculture and farmers' empowerment's
comprehensive rice fallow management
(CRFM) programme. Deputy chief minister and agriculture and farmers' empowerment minister K V Singh Deo said, "Odisha is committed towards a data-driven inclusive agricultural transformation pathway. Evaluations of this stature help the department make informed decisions that strengthen rural livelihoods and support our farmers." The study was conducted by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
CRFM is aimed at promoting the cultivation of pulses and oilseeds in post-monsoon (Rabi season) rice fallow land across the state. The evaluation, based on a combination of satellite data, administrative data, and rigorous
impact evaluation techniques
, offers early insights into patterns of land use, crop productivity and the inclusion of smallholders and marginalised communities, official sources said.
The CRFM programme is currently operational across all 30 districts.

Fire breaks out at private hospital in Noida; none hurt
Noida: A fire broke out at a private hospital following a short circuit in its physiotherapy unit in Noida, Sector 11, on Wednesday morning, fire officials said, adding that no casualties were reported. 'On Wednesday around 8 am, the fire control room received information from hospital staff that a fire had broken out on the ground floor of the hospital,' said Pradeep Chaubey, chief fire officer of Gautam Budh Nagar. The CFO said, 'Upon receiving the information, three fire tenders from surrounding fire stations were rushed to the spot, and the flames were brought under control within an hour.' During the investigation, it came to light that the fire originated in the physiotherapy unit on the ground floor. 'The physiotherapy unit is located at a distance from the main hospital, so it was not necessary to evacuate any patients due to smoke,' said Chaubey, adding that it is suspected some electrical equipment was left late Monday night before the unit was closed. 'The unit was closed when the fire broke out. It is suspected that a short circuit may have caused the fire. No casualties were reported, and hospital staff attempted to contain the fire before firefighters arrived,' Chaubey added.
