The Krishi Kranti Raths that would move from village to village during the Krishi Mahotsav scheduled to be observed from May 25 to June 15, would serve as a knowledge bank. Besides, the farmers would get benefits of different schemes.
For this, accountability of departments has been fixed. During the Mahotsav, Agriculture science fairs and exhibitions would also be organised and in that, farmers and scientists would exchange technical experiences with each other.
As soon as the Krishi Kranti Rath would reach in a village, an agriculture symposium would be held with farmers. In these symposiums, farmers would be informed by the scientists that how could they can make agriculture, a profit making business. Four days before the Rath reaches the village, comprehensive publicity about it would be made to build atmosphere. Ten soil samples each from every district’s revenue and forest village would be taken. Eligible and selected Patta holders would be delivered with the benefits of the schemes.
Balram Talab scheme would be launched. Mandi board would establish contact with the farmers to sell agriculture and horticulture products in the villages where Rath would make night halt. The horticulture department would sell plants while the revenue department would go door to door to ensure distribution of revenue records copies and the health department would organise health check up and vaccination camps.
Women and child development department would celebrate special nutrition day in the anganwadis. The Animal Husbandry department would constitute new milk producing committees and the selected beneficiaries would be provided special kits related with animal therapy and animal husbandry. Special drive would also be carried out for artificial pregnancy and camps for animal treatment, vaccination and gelding would also be organised.
