Govt forming policies to support farmers: Agri Minister

Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana said farmers must adopt natural farming, and the government has been forming various policies to support them.

He was speaking on the second day of the three-day agri-tech exhibition and startup conclave organised at Kurukshetra University.

The Agriculture Minister said, “There are three types of farming, including the chemical-based, organic farming and natural farming. We have to move towards natural farming. For this, the central and state governments have made and implemented schemes for the farmers. Efforts are being made to increase the income of the farmers and also to reduce the input cost. To promote natural farming, the government has set a target of one lakh acres and the government is completely standing with the farmers.”
