Speaking on the occasion, the DDC directed the Agriculture Officers to work shoulder to shoulder with the farming community so that technology at research centers will be transferred to the field for enhancement of production and productivity.
The DDC advised the young educated youth of the district to take vegetable cultivation as an enterprise on commercial lines. He said the Green Houses could also be used to produce the vegetables in harsh winters to meet out the local demand.
CAO said that there is a huge deficient gap between demand and supplies of the vegetables in the district, which amounts to the tune of 2 lac Quintal. Thus young educated youth have a better avenue to run their vegetable farms for commercial basis.

With the ongoing farmers’ protests continuing for over two weeks at the Delhi border, MSP (Minimum Support Price) has become a buzzword in news and social media discussions. One wonders, what is MSP? Which segment of farmers is it affecting? What are the key issues?
The MSP was introduced to incentivize farmers of Punjab and Haryana to grow wheat and rice and thereby assure them of remunerative returns. It worked very well in the 1970s and 80s, due to which we are now a surplus food grain country. Presently, India has 91million tonnes of food grain stored, which is 250% of the storage required for the country.
