A day-long sensitization programme on Rural Godown Scheme organized by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Imphal West under the sponsorship of NABARD was held today at ICAR Manipur Centre, Lamphelpat wherein 25 people from different NGOs and entrepreneurs attended.
Speaking as Chief Guest of the event, Dr I Meghachandra Singh, Principal Scientist (Seed Technology) stated that bankers alone cannot be blamed for non-sanctioning of project funds in the State and added that simply constructing a godown and keeping it will not help repayment of loans.

Y Chakravarty, Associate prof (Agri Economics), CAU; Sanyaola K Raman, Programme Co-ordinator, KVK Imphal West; Ng Sanatombi Devi, subject matter specialist (Horticulture) and Kh Hera Singh, subject matter specialist (Agri Engg) were also present during the programme
