    OTELP Plus is a flagship tribal empowerment programme launched by the Government of Odisha to improve food and nutritional security and enhance the livelihoods of tribal households living in remote, rain-fed, and resource-poor regions. Rooted in the principles of participatory watershed development and convergence, the programme deploys a combination of land development, organic farming, cluster cultivation, and allied support services to enable holistic agricultural transformation in tribal areas.
