Speaking on the occasion as the Chief Guest, Minister V Valte expressed his admiration for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chief Minister N Biren Singh for formulating and implementing PMKSY for the benefit of farmers.
Cautioning the people on misuse of 'freedom of speech', he stated that distorting the speeches of others or telling a lie is not under 'freedom of speech' as enshrined in the Constitution of India.
Instead, the Minister asked the people to serve for the benefit of other human beings.
The water pumps and sprinkler systems were made available at a subsidised rate to about 46 farmers from Churachandpur district and 39 from Pherzawl district.
The distribution of water pumps and sprinklers will aid in irrigation systems which will ensure better productivity of different crops.
Presently, Pherzawl district focuses on the production of ginger and Churachandpur focuses on the production of pineapple with the aim, under an initiative to focus more on cash crops.
MLA Ginsuanhau Zou; Pawan Yadav, DC, Churachandpur, Mannuamching, DC, Pherzawl and K Shubhachandra Singh, DO (Hort & SC) also attended the function as presidium members.
