The Odisha government is reviving and modernizing the Aska Cooperative Sugar Mill by forming a task force with senior officers from various departments.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi emphasized the importance of this mill, established in 1956, as many farmers depend on it.
The task force will study systems in Maharashtra and other states and provide recommendations for revival, as the mill is currently not profitable.
Key officials, including Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo and other ministers, participated in the meeting to offer their insights.
