SRINAGAR: The Director Agriculture Kashmir, Chowdhary Mohammad Iqbal today toured Harwan area of district Srinagar, visited the farms of different progressive farmers and interacted with the farming community members of the area. While interacting with the farmers, the Director Agriculture highlighted the importance of an integrated farming system and said that the integrated farming concept being adopted by the farmers has started bearing fruits of success.

He said that the department is working on a strategy where farmers are educated to adopt an integrated approach for their farms so that they could get maximum output in terms of business and profit. Director Agriculture assured the farmers of every possible technical support from the department whenever and wherever they need it.
