The Kisan Mela, inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Paul Mahajan, was held at community Hall, marking the beginning of agricultural activities after prolonged winter in the hilly district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stalls, which were set up, showcased advanced farm technologies, indigenous farming methods and other innovative techniques developed by various companies, startups owners and progressive farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are planning to completely switch over to Millets by 2047 to meet the demands of the coming generations,” Sharma said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progressive farmers and agri-Startups expressed gratitude to the government for organising the event at the beginning of agricultural season in the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have been practising organic farming for the past 20 years. I grow Quinoa, buckwheat, red paddy, vegetables and apples among others and I am aware of the fact that organic farming leads to environment protection, good soil health, saves water and reduces input cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For seed treatment and insect-pest and disease management, I only use organic manure,” farmer Balwan Singh (64) of Chirala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
