He directed all the officers to ensure that the benefits under different schemes reach every farmer of the region. Under ‘Meri Kahani, Meri Zubani’ a number of farmers and agri-preneurs shared their experiences as farmers and their journey in becoming successful growers.

The Agriculture and farmers welfare department has so far actively participated in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra and organised various awareness camps among the farming communities at panchayat level. The door-to-door campaign was also conducted to provide first hand information about the centrally sponsored schemes being implemented by the department for the farming community of the region.
