Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday chaired a meeting of advisory board for development of farmers and officials of the agriculture department to discuss a roadmap on the holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors.<\/p>\n
An official spokesperson said, the meeting had meaningful and in-depth discussions wherein the participants shared their assessment of the farming sector, examined apex committee\u2019s recommendations and efforts by the Union Territory administration for a great agriculture transformation.<\/p>\n
Addressing the meeting, the Lt Governor said the apex committee on agriculture has provided a roadmap to transform subsistence agriculture into sustainable commercial agri-economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are adopting an integrated approach to tackle agriculture\u2019s extreme vulnerability to ensure increased productivity and enhanced resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sinha said his administration\u2019s approach is farmer and community-centric enabling greater farmer participation in policies and ensuring their suggestions are taken into account in decision-making and they benefit from increased productivity, diversification, access to credit and required technical assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe integrated approach will enable and strengthen market access for small and marginal farmers. With inclusiveness we aim to improve credit flow by banks to the agriculture sector and particularly to small and marginal farmers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Lt Governor complimented the efforts of Mangala Rai, who headed the UT level apex committee and prepared a vision document on holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors and the farming community.<\/p>\n
Rai\u2019s detailed report has addressed each and every aspect, issues and concerns related to the farmers and farming, he said.<\/p>\n
The Lt Governor said the report of the committee in itself is a revolutionary policy document and is historical not only for J&K but also for the country.<\/p>\n
The recommendations would bring a great agriculture transformation in the Union Territory, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
