Agriculture and Farmer Support
Reviewing the schemes of the agriculture department, Khattar directed the district agriculture officer to ensure 100 per cent registration of crops on the 'Meri Fasal, Mera Byora' portal.
Along with mixed crops, details of vacant agricultural land should also be registered by the farmers, he said.
At least one 'Kisan Mela' should be organised every year in each constituency, and farmers should be made aware of the modern agricultural techniques and new varieties of seeds, Khattar said.
Feedback from these agriculture fairs should also be taken, and the good suggestions should be adopted to benefit the farmers through different schemes, he said.
