Besides, University Krishi Vigyan Kendras will also display photos of farmers in their premises.

He urged the farmers to learn, adopt and spread the University technology among other farmers and they would be suitably rewarded.

The Vice-Chancellor talked about the major achievements of the university after Himachal Pradesh attained full statehood.

He said besides policies and programmes of the state government, the university had contributed tremendously for making the state self-sufficient on the food front as more than 80 per cent area under wheat and paddy was covered under the improved varieties developed by his university.
