Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash
Chautala today urged the farmers to go in for a change in the cropping
pattern as it would help lift their economic condition. Mr Chautala,
addressing a gathering at a public function in Mohammadpur Ahir village
near here, stressed that under the changed circumstances, the
traditional crops like wheat and paddy were not paying rich dividends.
Hence, the farmers would be well advised to go in for floriculture,
horticulture and vegetables as well as taking up dairy farming and
fisheries.

mind, the end justified his means.
