As a large section of the population do not have a steady source of income, there is a need for increased supervision on the Agriculture sector to produce better harvests and to improve the relations between the Agriculture Department and farmers, he stated.
With the goal of improving irrigation, the Agriculture Department has consulted the Minor Irrigation Department and CADA to construct tubewells wherever necessary, Th Biswajit shared.
He also shared that steps will be undertaken to provide fertilisers to the farmers as well as a market platform where they can sell their produce.
M Gojendra, Director, Agriculture Department, Addin Panmei, Additional Director and other important officials of the Department also joined the inspection visit.
