Yes, the Orissa Disaster Management Fund has been increased to Rs 400 crore from previous amount of Rs 150 crore. Then there is also some relief for the food grains - around Rs 499 crore for subsidising the Rs 2 a kilogram of rice programme. There are Rs 56.34 crore for revival of Regional Rural Banks (RRBs). The government of India, Gramya Bank and the state government are required to share the recapitalisation burden at 50:35:15 ratio.

It is good to give pay hike but at the same time the govt. should have idea how to make the work more streamline. I am also very much interested to know where does govt. bring the longsum amount.
Orissa Govt. rocks!!!!!
What a bloody idiot performance orissa govt. employees are giving........
I think Orissa govt. should provide new technical weapons to our police force and should spend more money in building intelligence network rather throwing money to 95% idiot employees of govt.
