Women farmers in the Kalahandi and Bargarh districts of Odisha were celebrated as key change agents for the transformation of the drylands during ICRISAT's International Women's Day celebrations in the state. These women play a vital role in the Rice Fallow Management project, a prominent initiative led by the Government of Odisha, and their contributions are immensely valuable. The celebration primarily aimed to honor the leading women farmers who are spearheading change in rice fallows and sharing knowledge with fellow farmers from self-help groups.
