A poor tribal district of Odisha turns into a coffee hub

Koraput's tribal community in India has found a new source of income and livelihood through coffee farming. The efforts of an official named Ajit Rout have led to significant growth in the coffee industry in the Koraput district. This year, a coffee brand called Kruti Coffee's "Kindiriguda Naturals" won India's best "natural coffee" award. The success of the coffee industry has transformed the lives of many tribals, providing them with steady incomes. The aim now is to make Odisha a major coffee hub in India.
