Imphal, December 25 2021:
Arapti Urup Farmers' Association celebrated its third foundation day at Arapti Awang Leikai on Saturday.
State planning board chairman and Keirao MLA Lourembam Rameshwar and association chairman Konthoujam Ibotombi attended the function as chief guest and president respectively while association's president Ihongram Pari-jat and local elder P Deben were present as guests of honour.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Rameshwar called for promoting organic agricultural products of Arapti which would in turn help in increasing income of the farmers and improve health of consumers.
Arapti will have a separate GP after the 2022 election-and it will help in improving the irrigation system of the area, he said, while urging the association to play key role in promoting organic farming.
