Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)

Climate smart rice based systems play a crucial role in enhancing climate resilient agriculture. The system brings prosperity and resilience in Odisha (Climate PRO), is being implemented as a collaborative effort of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Government of Odisha. Under this project the OIIPCRA along with CGIAR have been working together with Pani Panchayats to promote the diversification of rice-based systems as a way of enhancing climate resilience. Freedom of deciding their own cropping pattern and timely operation and maintenance through the project has ensured better farming systems for the farmers of our Pani Panchayats.
