A total of 70 farmers from four Janpad Panchayats of insurgency-hit Bijapur district in Bastar division on Friday left for a four-day study tour for knowing about advanced farming techniques in the Agriculture science centres and Agriculture University located in the division.
The study tour was flagged off by District Collector Mohammed Kaiser Abdul Haq. The farmers would also visit the various Horticultural centres located in the division. Speaking on the occasion, Haq told farmers to pay attention to the scientific methods being adopted in the area of Horticulture during their tour of the various centres and adopt them in their fields.
last year, a large number of State’s farmers led by the then State Agriculture Minister Chandrashekhar Sahu attended a ‘Global Meet’ on Agriculture held at Gujarat’s state capital Gandhinagar where farmers from across the country and agriculture experts shared the advanced farming techniques with each other.
