Imphal, December 06 2023:
Yelhoumee Kanba Lup distributed seeds of winter crops to the locals of Lamsang, Konthoujam and Patsoi assembly constituencies under Imphal West district at Moidangpok Khunou community hall today.
Speaking in this connection, Angom Loken, president, Yelhoumee Kanba Lup said that the winter seeds were distributed with the objective of utilizing the bare post-harvest agricultural fields for growing a variety of crops and increasing food production/yield.
Highlighting the inadequate rainfall this year leading to decrease in surface water, he urged the State Government to introduce a scheme to utilize ground water for agriculture.
He added that Yelhoumee Kanba Lup will take up a similar initiative to distribute enough winter crop seeds next year to cover over 60 hectares of agricultural land.
