Under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture 2022-23, District Horticulture Office, Bishnupur distributed first instalment of winter crop seeds to select farmers of the district and farm machines for Per Drop More Crop 2nd instalment under PMKSY at its office on Wednesday.
The distribution function was attended by Bishnupur DC L Bikram, district horticulture officers Sushila Chanu and junior subject matter specialist Dr L Leishana as presidium members.
Speaking at the programme, DC Bikram stressed the need for imparting basic training to farmers and minimising use of chemical fertilizers and replacing it with bio fertilizers.
As the state government has been taking up necessary measures to mitigate the problems faced by farmers with regard to irrigation, department concerned should also focus in increasing production of farmers, he said, while urging to ensure that farmers avail their schemes and benefits.
