KULGAM: The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kulgam, Athar Aamir Khan today chaired a meeting of Agriculture and allied departments of Horticulture, Animal & Sheep Husbandry to take review of establishment and functioning of Kisan Khidmat Ghars (KKGs) and the status of farmer registrations. The DC advocated for fast pacing the registrations of all farmers on designated portals within the shortest possible time. He also emphasized the need to publicise the services of KKGs for the benefit of farmers.
It is worth mentioning here that Kisan Khidmat Ghar (KKG) serves as a one-stop solution for agriculture and allied sectors, providing a comprehensive range of services to farmers at the Panchayat level.
