Imphal, December 20 2021:
Under the sponsorship of BJP Manipur Pradesh Kishan Morcha vice president Ningreingam Kashung, Mapithel New Generation Farmers' Club and Manipur Progressive Farmers' Association jointly organised one day awareness eum training programme on scientific piggery farming at Lamlai Khunou of Phungyar AC on Monday.
Speaking at the programme, Ningreingam noted that as the hill people still practice the traditional method of pig farming there has been no significant improvement in their socio-economic condition.
If pigs are reared scientincally through periodical consulting with experts, then the economy of the farmers will surely improve, he opined, while adding that the programme was initiated to help the locals earn decent income.
While pointing out that the veterinary hospital set up on the western Chadong side some five years back has been serving no purpose as there is no staffers, he also alleged duty dereliction by the medical personnel posted at PHSC, Lamlai Khunou.
The awareness programme was attended by progressive piggery farmer Pipi Keithellakpam and other experts.
Meanwhile, people of Phungyar AC felicitated Ningreingam Kashung, who was given the title of 'Covid warrior' for his acts of conducting Covid-19 awareness programme in 125 villages of Phungyar A/C and meeting the expenditure for vaccination of the local populace.
