Addressing a seminar organized at the Agriculture and Food Technology Fair organized in Sector 17 Parade Ground, he said that the Haryana Government has been taking advance initiatives for better stubble management. Taking these initiatives forward, agricultural equipment like 80,000 super seeders have been provided to the farmers.
