BHUBANESWAR: Odisha appears to have missed the second green revolution, already.

Even though the state received Rs 217.25 crore under the centrally-funded 'Bringing the Green Revolution to Eastern India' (BGREI) programme in 2012-13, second to only West Bengal's allocation of Rs 269 crore, the yield has actually nosedived in Odisha since its launch in 2010-11. This has raised question marks over the implementation strategy because the scheme under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana gives top priority to boost rice production.
