Abstract Agriculture plays a significant role in Odisha’s rural economic development. In 2018 Odisha government introduced an innovative program known as the KALIA Scheme. Providing direct income support, the scheme aims to enhance farmers’ income in agricultural sector. To assess agricultural performance the study examines trends in paddy production and yield over the periods 2013-14 to 2022-23. The study based on secondary data, data collected from various sources such as the Odisha Economic Survey 2019-20, government reports, and existing literature. The discussion highlights that paddy production and yield exhibit an overall increasing trend; fluctuations persist year to year. While the scheme has contributed to increasing agricultural production, external factors such as climatic variability and structural factors affect outcomes. After implementation of the scheme, it reflects more stability in agricultural performance. The study concludes that while the KALIA Scheme has contributed to inclusive agricultural development by strengthening agricultural productivity, sustainable growth requires more development in irrigation, technological adoption, and risk mitigation strategies.
