IFFCO
IFFCO is playing an important role to make the J&K farmers aware about the new initiatives in agriculture, horticulture and other sectors.
IFFCO recently held a farmers convention in which LG Manoj Sinha addressed scientists and farmers.
IFFCO’s initiatives like training on the use of Nano Urea, battery-operated sprayers & spray-drones and declaring villages -Akalpur in Jammu and Y.K Pora in Kashmir Valley- as IFFCO Nano Fertilizer Model Villages will surely complement the government’s efforts in protecting and improving fertility of our agricultural fields.
He observed that Dr Mangala Rai-led Apex Committee on Agriculture provides a futuristic roadmap for upliftment of the farming community and making agriculture sustainable and productive for the coming generations, especially for those involved in traditional and high-value crops.
He distributed incentives and awards to the progressive farmers. Exhibitions and stalls were installed for extending information on various agriculture schemes and benefits to farmers.
Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture Production Department, in his address said that 140 PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras will be established in phase-I in J&K in collaboration with IFFCO and fertilizer companies which will provide information, advisories and equipment required for farming, besides increasing interactions between agricultural scientists and farmers.
