AMN /RAIPUR
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari today asked farmers to grow crops which are profitable and use the latest techniques to boost farm yields and income. The Road Transport and Highways Minister Gadkari was addressing farmers at the ongoing ‘National Agriculture Fair’ in Raipur this evening.
He said India is now self-reliant as far as production of rice, wheat and other grains was concerned and, therefore, farmers should now focus on cultivation of pulses, oil seeds and those crops which are being imported. Gadkari said farmers must also adopt an integrated model of farming and practice cattle rearing, fisheries and honey production along with cultivation of crops.
