Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has said that the government will come up with its agriculture policy after talking to genuinely model farmers shortly.
Participating in the class on agriculture at the political training camp for TRS leaders at Nagarjunasagar on Sunday, Mr. Rao asked the agriculture university to take steps to carve out crop colonies in the State. He stressed the need for selecting two farmers in every village for introduction of modern techniques of agriculture and drip irrigation. They will become motivators for other villagers. When subject experts spoke technical jargon like green house gases and farm mechanisation which did not catch the imagination of the delegates, Mr. Rao intervened to urge them to use simple words which could be understood by all. He said the strength of TRS was in usage of language which was understood by common public. Mr. Rao went on to explain in his own way how green house gases increased humidity and how farm mechanisation reduced investment and resulted in higher yields. He regretted that agricultural extension was on the decline and called for revival of the sector.
