Field Exhibition of Laser Based Land Leveling Machine for Better Agricultural Resource Management and Awareness on Balanced Fertilizer Application 
Central Rice Research Institute organized a field exhibition of Laser Based Land Leveling Machine for Better Agricultural Resource Management and Awareness on Balanced Fertilizer Application on 20.05.2026 at Nishchintkoili Village under Baliapada Block of Cuttack District. In this program, farmers were made aware about the benefits of land leveling through Laser Land Leveler, water conservation, proper use of fertilizers and increase in crop production. In this exhibition, scientists gave practical knowledge to the farmers about the working principle of Laser Land Leveler. Scientists expressed the opinion that proper land leveling saves irrigation water, improves crop growth and reduces the cost of production of farmers. Many farmers participated in the program and showed interest in Laser Land Leveler technology. Along with the scientists, local farmer representatives also cooperated in organizing the program.
Dr. Prakash Chandra Jena, Senior Scientist; Dr. Manish Debnath, Scientist and Er. Bhupendra, Senior Technical Officer from the institute participated in this program and made the farmers aware about the working principle of Laser Land Leveler, the need and benefits of balanced fertilizer application. The program discussed the protection of soil health through balanced fertilizer application in paddy and other crops. The discussion also focused on increasing crop production along with water and environment protection and proper application of fertilizers in paddy fields along with organic and natural farming methods. The awareness program discussed increasing farmers’ income through techniques developed at the Paddy Research Center, leaf color charts and natural farming methods. About total 46 farmer (03 sisters and 43 brothers) attended the meeting and actively participated in the discussion. The scientists were supported by farmer sisters and brothers of the village.
