CM urges farmers to adopt innovative techniques

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has urged farmers to adopt innovative techniques and modern practices to commercialise agriculture. Farmers should take charge of marketing their products to enhance profitability, he said and encouraged farmers to shift to organic and natural farming, ensuring the optimal use of resources for a more prosperous agricultural future.

The CM as chief guest was speaking at a state-level Kisan Samman Samaroh here today after watching a live telecast of Prime Minister Narendra Modi releasing the 19th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi during an event in Bhagalpur, Bihar. As part of this initiative, approximately Rs 360 crore have been credited to the bank accounts of 16.38 lakh farmers in Haryana.

The CM further said that Rs 17.41 crore had been deposited into the accounts of 77,000 farmers from Jhajjar district today. Earlier, Rs 6,203 crore had been disbursed in 18 instalments to approximately 20 lakh farmers across Haryana.

“Haryana government is actively promoting organic farming to ensure sustainable agricultural practices. As part of this initiative, approximately 24,000 farmers have registered on the 'Natural Farming Portal'. Of these, around 10,000 farmers are practicing natural farming on 15,170 acres. To further support this transition, training centres have been established in Gurukul Kurukshetra, Gharaunda (Karnal), Hameti (Jind), and Mangiana (Sirsa) for progressive farmers,” said Saini.
