Imphal, June 05 2017:
As the State has huge potential for agriculture, there is a need to concentrate on primary sector, said Deputy Chief Minister Yumnam Joykumar Singh while addressing at the valedictory function of two-day State level seminar on 'Development Priority of Manipur' at Jubilee Hall of RIMS, Imphal.
Y Joykumar said, "As of now, it will be very difficult to develop secondary sector due to many reasons.
Therefore, it is time to concentrate on primary as well as in tertiary sectors.
Proper irrigation system should be put in place and composite concepts such as integrated farming, double cropping and cash crop cultivation also need to be implemented in large scale to increase productivity and generate income" .
Observing that power consumption and its generation will be the major parameter of development, the Deputy Chief Minister said, "Power generation potential in the State need to be reviewed.
Solar power generation should be introduced in large scale so that power availability can be maintained.
