The VC said ordinary farmers could not afford storage of grains and expensive technology and thus could store their goods by adopting latest techniques and by creating a producer group so that when the grains are at a good price in the market, they can sell them. Singh called upon the farmers to adopt agricultural diversification instead of traditional farming, in which the business of vegetables and horticulture as well as animal husbandry and dairy farming could be pursued. This will increase the farmers’ income and make them prosperous. He called upon the farmers to promote organic farming and asked them to minimise the use of chemical fertilisers.
