The State government’s ambitious Krishi Abhiyan programme was to be held in the first week of May to provide expert guidance to farmers prior to kharif season. The programme was, however, postponed owing to the gram panchayat elections.
Farmers have already completed about 70 per cent of the agricultural activities for the kharif season and sowing is nearing completion in whole district. The programme is to resolve issues pertaining to their cropping plans on pre-specified days and the programme is expected to provide convenient access to farmers and promote a coordinated and integrated approach.
The farmers, after a lull for the GP elections, are now fully engaged in agricultural activities all over the district.
