Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister, Radha Mohan Singh has said that the greatest problem we are facing in the present perspective is how we should provide advanced technology and recent inventions to the farmers.
The first revolution in agricultural sector erupted in the West based on maximum availability of water. Now we require another revolution which will commence from the East namely India, Singh said while speaking in Indian Soil Science Institute’s 81st Annual Conference at the Rajmata Vijay Raje Scindia Agriculture University, Gwalior.
The soil scientists from the nook and corner of India are participating in this conference which will be on for three days. The central theme of the conference is “Sustainability of Production in Pulses and More Crops with Low Resources”.
Radha Mohan said we are required to reduce the cost of agriculture and balance the use of fertilizers and water. Timely sowing process, solution of pest related disorders and required techniques are to be used. This is the best scientific modus operandi for sustained agriculture.
The Agriculture Minister laid the foundation of Unified Apiculture Development Centre in Agriculture Science Centre, Morena. Shri Singh said that apiculture is a good source of income for agricultural labourers as well as farmers.
