Government is committed to continuous development of the Indian economy: Singh
Singh said it while speaking to the farmers in Srinagar.
Radha Mohan Singh said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, too, is well aware of the importance of agriculture and its contribution to the Indian economy.
Hence, he has initiated a series of schemes for the betterment of the farmers. In the last three years, the new schemes introduced include distribution of soil health card, expansion in irrigation facilities, low-cost Organic Farming, National Agriculture Market, Horticultural Development, Agroforestry, Beekeeping, Milk, fish and egg production and agricultural education on a priority basis.
Singh said that Prime Minister shared his dream of doubling the income of the farmers by 2022 in Bareilly in February 2016.
For which he not only initiated new schemes but also made necessary funds available.
In the last three years, the government has worked on five main areas to increase the agricultural produce and farmers' income by adopting effective strategies, he said.
Singh said that the Government had announced a special package of Rs. 500 crore on November 7, 2015, for rehabilitation and development of damaged horticulture areas of the state for which the state Government has submitted its plan for 2016-19.
The National Horticulture Board is entrusted with the task of establishing Rs. 24.45 crore Saffron Park in Pampore, Pulwama. The park will have facilities of Quality Control Lab, Export Promotion Activity and e-auction Centre.
The park is likely to become operational by November 2017.
