He stressed the concerned departments to put in all efforts in this direction.
He highlighted that young educated farmers must be motivated and guided to come forward and adopt agriculture and allied activities as income generating ventures. He also discussed the preparedness for opening of Kisan Khidimat Ghars (KKGs) in the district. He said that KKG is a one stop shop for farmers to connect with everything related to agriculture and allied sectors. These KKGs will provide access to all agri inputs besides crop and weather advisory. This initiative will provide employment opportunities to youth and easy online access to government schemes.
