Eight power ghani machines have been installed on Udyogpuri premises at Gandamunda here on Tuesday. Around 60 litres of oil will be extracted every day.

A number of young entrepreneurs have been involved in the process. The products will be available at government outlets across the state.

Foundation stone of a honey processing plant with capacity of producing 100kg of honey per day was also inaugurated.

"There is huge demand in the state for pure honey. With this, the board will be able to supply more processed honey to the residents," said Parida.
