In an effort to address the recurring shortage of green fodder, particularly in drought-prone areas the Centurion University of Technology and Management, Odisha has been promoting the cultivation of Azolla, an aquatic water fern. The organic farming unit at CUTM, Parakhemundi campus headed by Dr. Saurav Barman is engaged in consistent efforts to provide hands on experience on making Azolla beds to the students and farmers apart from educating them on the multiple uses of Azolla as a supplementary feed for cattle, particularly for milch animals, and its other benefits.
