Imphal, June 12 2022:
A one-day awareness cum training programme on 'Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana' was jointly organised by District Agriculture Officer, Imphal West and Sub Divisional Agriculture Officer, Imphal West at Lilong Chaiing Mairenkhong community hall on Saturday.
As part of the programme, several agricultural-related items were distributed to the farmers of Langthabal under the Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Speaking on the occasion, Langthabal AC MLA remarked that the economy cannot be improved without improving the financial condition of the farmers.
There is a need to cultivate high yielding, good quality seeds to enable the state to become self-sustainable, he maintained and urged the farmers to avail many of the centrally sponsored schemes, while further urging the youth to step into the agriculture sector and become self-employed and help generate jobs, instead of wasting time under the guise of unemployment.
A self- sustainable and developed Manipur is possible only when the youth focus on all positive aspects, he stated.
