Athree-day long awareness campaign for agriculture started at cooperative building of Sadar block. Many stalls related to agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and the land preservation were put up at the venue.
On the occasion DC Binod Kumar said, “The State has to adopt the agriculture as business. In our country 70 per cent of people dwell in villages and are dependent on agriculture entirely. The Government has been running awareness campaign to make the farmers aware. The officers must promote them and visit their villages.”
Kumar added, “The farmers can also adopt the fields of dairy forms, fisheries and goat rearing to increase their income. The KCC loan and the insurance for their crops in case of ruining by hailstorms are also available.”
The Agriculture officer Anil Kumar Singh described the compensations made available by the Government. On the eve the farmers were distributed many types of seeds and pump sets at 90 per cent subsidy. Many farmers witnessed the occasion.
