Malkangiri Tops in NITI Aayog Delta Ranking in Agriculture & Water Resources

Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s Malkangiri district has topped the NITI Aayog‘s Delta Ranking for December 2021 for adopting sustainable agriculture practices and efficiently managing water resources.

With continued adoption of sustainable agriculture practices and efficient management of water resources, Malkangiri has been ranked number one among the five most-improved aspirational districts in NITI Aayog‘s Delta Ranking.


The Delta Rankings took into account incremental progress made by aspirational districts across six developmental areas. Health and nutrition, education, agriculture and water resources, financial inclusion, skill development and basic infrastructure were the development areas that were taken into consideration for the ranking. Aspirational districts programme, launched in January 2018, aims to transform districts that have shown relatively lesser progress in key social areas.
