Economic Times | 28 Feb, 2012 Umiam (Meghalaya):
Many north-eastern states will be self-sufficient in food grain production by 2015, a top official of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) said today.
The ICAR chief for north-eastern region was all praise for Nagaland which has achieved self sutainability in foodgrain production and for Assam, whose food grain production has increased from 3.7 million tonnes in 2010-11, to 5 million tonnes during the current year.
He said, "Manipur, which once was also a foodgrain deficit state will be crossing the surplus marks in production".
He said, "By 2020, we will achieve a self sustainability in food production," a target which the Centre has appreciated.
