Imphal, April 29 2019:
A six-day training programme of farmers was opened today at KVK Hengbung under the sponsorship of North Eastern Council (NEC).
Kangpokpi DC Lalithambigai K, KVK Hengbung's Foundation for Environment and Development Services administrative officer JG Paul and ICAR Imphal Senior Scientist (Fisheries) Dr Ch Basudha Devi attended the opening function as chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.
Altogether 72 farmers from Kangpokpi and Senapati districts are participating in the training programme which is organised by KVK Hengbung.
Experts would train the farmers on fishery, poultry and piggery during the training programme.
Speaking at the opening function, Lalithambigai K said that the training programme is being organised by KVK Hengbung under the sponsorship NEC with the primary objective of improving farmers' livelihood.
Opining that holding such training programmes after paddy harvesting season would considerably enhance farmers' incomes, she wished the training programme a grand success.
A leaflet on the training programme was released by the presidium members of the opening function.
