This is a very nice attempt by IOC. In addition IOC should help the farmers financially for the successful implementation of the project, so that the Socio-Economic condition of the Orissa farmers can be developed.
Thanking you.

Afterso many years efforts topromote teh Jatropha plantation in India. The result is stilll very fara way from thr target ambitious goal.
The productivity of teh jatropha are much lower than any expetation.
It is doubtfully that Jatropha will be really viable being the Energy crop.
If teh productivity is that low like what is happening now.
The Jatropha oil will be much more expensive than the mineral fossil oil.
