Wednesday, 25 February 2015 | PNS | Balangir | in Bhubaneswar

Nirakara Dharua, the farmer of Badtelenpali in the Lower Suktel project area of Balangir district, who received the Krishi Karman award from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Rajasthan last week, was felicitated here by the district administration on Monday evening.
Among others, district Collector Muthu Kumar, DRDA PD Rajendra Pattnaik, Zilla Parishad President Bijaya  Pradhani and Vice-President Gopa Mahanada and Deputy Director Agriculture Manaranjan Mallick lauded the effort of Dharua and urged other farmers to emulate his achievement.
