The Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) at Pilicode will host an exhaustive six-day farm show from Thursday with the objective of luring more youth to farming and updating farmers with the developments in the sector.
The show is being held on over 30 acres of RARS as part of its year-long centenary celebrations.
The show, said to be the first of its kind in the country, will be inaugurated at 10.30 a.m. by select students from Kasaragod and Kannur districts. It is conceived as an innovative programme in which a visitor would be able to walk across the farm for a different learning experience in its rose garden, mango orchard, coconut groves, and crop and livestock units, RARS Associate Director K. Abdul Kareem said.
