Ranchi,: The Global Agriculture and Food Summit will open the doors of foreign shores for vegetables and other agriculture products which are produced by the farmers of Jharkhand said Chief Minister Raghubar Das here.
At Chief Minister’s residence the chief minister said that Jharkhand was the second state in the country to host event of such a magnitude as earlier it has been held only in Gujarat. He said that even in the undivided Bihar there was no global summit on agriculture and this is the first which is being organised in Jharkhand since the state came into existence.
Mr Das said that in the era of knowledge one should must think of ways as to how the income of the farmers can be doubled, the cost of agriculture is reduced and productivity is maximized and ultimately the income of the farmers is increased. He said that the Global Agriculture and Food Summit was an event for the entire state and not for the government alone and asked the people to extend their full cooperation to ensure the event is a huge success.
The Chief Minister said that like the Momentum Jharkhand which was held in February last year the doors of Global Agriculture and Food Summit would also be opened for the common people who can witness the exhibitions and the stalls which have been put up at the venue from 4pm to 8 pm and their entry is free of cost.
Mr Das said that his government was committed to make the farmers technologically advanced and as part of strengthening their know how two batches of the farmers were sent to Israel to learn the modern methods of agriculture and again a batch of 100 farmers including 50 women would be sent to Israel/Philippines to learn the modern methods of agriculture.
He said that during his travel across the state he has come to notice that it is the women who are doing the most of the work in the agriculture and animal husbandry sector especially the women in the tribal areas therefore the women farmers needed to be encouraged further. Mr Das said that to remove poverty and unemployment the state government has focused on laying a network of small and cottage industries in the state.
