Govt to launch 'Kharif campaign' to address farmers' problems

New Delhi, Apr 8 (UNI) The 'Kharif campaign' is being organised on April 11 and 12, 2016 here to address the issues of deficient rainfall and other natural calamities leading to damage of crops on a colossal scale last year.
''The South-West monsoon of the previous Kharif season was very weak leading to a deficit of (-) 14% rainfall in the country. The Rabi 2015-16 season also had less post monsoon and winter rains and the availability of moisture in the soil is low. Therefore, a strategy needs to be evolved for the coming Kharif season for which a National Conference on Agriculture for Kharif Campaign, 2016 will be held on 11th & 12th April, 2016.''
The Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers’ Welfare is organising “The National conference on Agriculture for Kharif Campaign” which will be inaugurated by the Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare .
