Mysuru: State Agriculture Minister B.C. Patil inaugurated ‘Raitharondige Ondu Dina’ (A Day with Farmers) programme organised by the State Agriculture and Horticulture Departments yesterday at Talur in Jayapura Hobli.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that agriculture is becoming a neglected sector. The farmers are considering it as financially non-viable. “To infuse confidence among farmers and encourage them to take up agriculture, the State Government has implemented various programmes and ‘Raitharondige Ondu Dina’ is one among them which intends to know the problems faced by the farmers from the ground level by spending a day with them,” he said.
