Destination-hub signal
The visit supports the larger roadmap to position Daringbadi for two- to three-day nature stays instead of short passing visits.
Public reporting confirms Deputy CM Pravati Parida's Daringbadi visit and the state's plan to develop the hill station as a destination hub. The portal's supplied official activity photos document the strawberry-field interaction from the visit, so this page presents the visuals with clear source notes, visitor context, and responsible farm-visit guidance.

The activity is valuable because it joins two strong Daringbadi narratives: official tourism attention and Kandhamal's emerging highland strawberry story. News coverage positions Daringbadi as a longer-stay nature destination, while strawberry reporting shows how women SHGs, horticulture support, OLM, and market linkage have made the crop useful beyond a photo stop.

The strawberry visuals give the portal a real seasonal farming story that can be paired with Pine Forest, Coffee Garden, Hill View Park, and local stays.
The content should highlight SHG effort, farm discipline, local purchase, and farmer consent before promoting photo access.
Link it from Latest News & Blog as activity coverage, then keep the external source links visible for verification.
Use this page to drive visitors toward the broader Daringbadi Strawberry page for season, etiquette, and route planning.
Do not promise daily picking. Say that field access depends on crop stage, host consent, and local confirmation.
Use the enhanced official photos as documentary visuals; avoid replacing them with invented AI event scenes.
The images are enhanced from the supplied official activity folder using crop, upscale, color balance, contrast, and WebP export for fast loading.



Credible public news confirms the Deputy CM's Daringbadi visit and tourism-hub review. The strawberry-picking/field interaction itself is documented by the project-supplied official photos and is therefore labelled on this page as official activity photo coverage.
