A one day technology and machinery demonstration mela was organised by All India Co-ordinated Research Project on 'Post Harvest Engineering and Technology', Directorate of Research, Central Agricultural University Imphal at Department of Agricultural Engineering, College of Agriculture, CAU Imphal.
Speaking as chief guest of the event, VC, CAU Imphal Prof M Premjit said that the present youth are not willing to choose traditional agriculture as it is tiring and consumes more money.
Considering the fact that the people consumes rice twice in a day as it is the staple food, he maintained that farm mechanisation is necessary to decrease the cost of cultivation.
