Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik launches ‘Secha Samadhan’ app for farmers

The Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik has launched a mobile app called ‘Secha Samadhan’ to link the farmers directly with the state Water Resources department.
Using the app, the farmers can now upload video and pictures of their farm problems, especially irrigational needs, on mobile phone to seek help from the department without having to travel to the office.
The mobile app will help resolve the issues faced by farmers immediately and provide services in a transparent manner. Besides, the Water Resources Department will be accountable to farmers.
Apart from this, app will also help farmers to apply for community lift irrigation points under the Biju Krushak Bikas Yojana (BKBY) through phones, computers or nearby Jana Seva Kendras.
The department has also developed Go Swift portal by which industries can apply for water.
Besides, a website www.waterallocationod.nic.in has been developed for distribution of water to commercial establishments and other institutions.
