Chandigarh, Sep 3 (UNI) Haryana Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Jai Prakash Dalal said that the objective of bringing about self-reliance in the field of agriculture has been made so that farmers can become producers as well entrepreneurs and the state government has made extensive plans in this direction.
Mr Dalal said that when farmers and farming practices become industrialised then employment and self-employment opportunities would be available on large scale across the villages. He said that the agriculture sector is being strengthened by focusing on the small farmers and their problems.
He said that new schemes are being introduced for the farmers to reduce their dependence on Arthiyas. This time a new arrangement was made in the procurement process of Rabi crops of wheat and mustard and the payment of crops purchased was sent directly to farmers in their accounts.
