The Deputy Commissioner instructed the officials to make joint efforts to increase the area under mustard cultivation in the district. All concerned officials should work as a team so that farmers can be made economically self-reliant. He emphasized that small farmers should be assisted in getting seeds of oilseed and horticulture crops, and it must also be ensured that crops are protected from diseases and damage. Farmers should be made aware of water conservation and encouraged to cultivate crops requiring less water.
Deputy Commissioner Sachin Gupta also directed that farmers in the district be encouraged to form Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) so that they can increase their income through agricultural products. He further said that all concerned departments should extend full cooperation to farmers in adopting crop diversification and horticulture crops, and instill confidence in them so that, instead of sticking only to the traditional wheat and paddy cycle, they also cultivate other alternative crops.
On this occasion, ADC Narendra Kumar, DDPO Rajpal Chahal, Deputy Director Agriculture Dr. Surender Singh, District Horticulture Officer Madan Lal, LDM Mahabir Prasad, along with other concerned officials and progressive farmers were present.
