Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana’s culture and agriculture are deeply intertwined, and the state’s farmers contribute significantly to filling the nation’s granaries through their hard work and toil. Their efforts have earned Haryana a distinct identity in agriculture.
He said the Haryana Government is working extensively to address farmers’ concerns, ensure remunerative prices for their produce, expand irrigation facilities and promote water conservation, natural farming, soil health and crop diversification. The government endeavours to help farmers move beyond traditional cultivation and increase their incomes by adopting modern technology, new crops and agriculture-based industries.
The Chief Minister was addressing Krishi Sammelan at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. He said the dedication and hard work of Haryana’s farmers had not only made the state a leader in agriculture but also contributed substantially to the country’s foodgrain reserves.
He said the government is also giving special attention to the repair, rehabilitation and strengthening of canals and drains to prevent water wastage and maximise the use of available water for agriculture.
