Country will become stronger if
farmers will become stronger and
hence a concrete action
plan must be done depending upon
the interest of farmers.
Traditional farming have to be replaced by modern farming
that is the need of hour, said by Brijmohan Agrawal Ji at
the closing ceremony of National Agriculture Exhibition
Agro Vision 2014.
Brijmohan Agrawal Ji said that the farmers must go
for cash crops to safeguard their future
along with latest farming methods.
He said that large quantity of guava is being sent
overseas from Chhattisgarh. Agrawal Ji emphasized on
the utility of micro irrigation and also said that the
Central government has to increase
the funding on sprinkler
Brijmohan Agrawal Ji advocated for natural farming as
the whole world is accepting it. However, natural farming
will thrive only when animal husbandry is improved.
Agrawal Ji also appealed to the farmers to utilize
solar pumps. He said that micro irrigation facilities
have to be increased by increasing the subsidy and
by preparing a pretty action plan.
He said that Chhattisgarh government has launched
several schemes including Agriculture Farm
Equipment Service Centre for
jobless agriculture engineers.
The project cost is about Rs 25 lakh and the
government will offer Rs 10 lakh. The government has
plans to set up 300 Agriculture Farm Equipment
Service Centers.
Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister
appreciated the Chhattisgarh
agriculture development under the
guidance of Agrawal Ji
Addressing the farmers at the district-level ‘Organic
farming fair’ executed at Gunderdehi, the district
headquarters of Balod, Shri. Brijmohan Agrawal Ji
said that Organic farming is best and lucrative for the
farmers of Chhattisgarh.
The State Government has been making every attempt to
endorse it. With Natural farming,
the fertility of the land remains and as the
crop remains devoid of the use of chemicals,
there is no other possibility of any
damage from them, he added.
Agrawal Ji said, in order to endorse ‘Natural farming’ a
‘Gaushala’ (cow shelter) would be set up in 50-acres of
land in each and every development block, where bio
fertilizer would be made with the cow-dung and its
urine.
