Will strengthen hands of our people involved in agriculture, increase their earnings: J&K CM

Jammu, April 7 (UNI) Assuring continued support to farmers and local representatives, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said that his government will try its best to strengthen the hands of people who are involved in agriculture and increase their earnings.
The Chief Minister also emphasised that the establishment of Centres of Excellence in agriculture and allied sectors was aimed at providing high-quality plant material and seeds to farmers, enabling them to significantly enhance their earnings.
“In today’s world, being a farmer is not an easy task. It may have never been easy, but it may not have been as difficult as it is today. Because, whether a farmer trusts anything or not, he had faith in the weather. But the circumstances of the world have changed so much that it would be foolishness to trust the weather today,” the Chief Minister said after inaugurating the Centre of Excellence for Entrepreneurship in Precision Vegetable and Floriculture Farming here at Talab Tillo, developed under NABARD at a project cost of Rs 5.929 Cr.
