Govt. committed to development of farmers, says Khandre

Govt. committed to development of farmers, says Khandre

The Hindu
Saturday, March 2, 2024 3:22 PM GMT

Hailing farmers as the feeders of the country, Eshwar Khandre, Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment, reiterated his government’s commitment to the welfare and development of the farming community in the State.

Hailing farmers as the feeders of the country, Eshwar Khandre, Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment, reiterated his government’s commitment to the welfare and development of the farming community in the State.

“Farmers feed the country. They are the backbone of the nation. The State and Union governments have introduced so many welfare programmes for the development of the farming community,” he said after flagging off a Millet Walkathon in Bidar on Saturday.

The event was organised by the Zilla Panchayat and the Department of Agriculture as part of their initiatives to encourage millet cultivation in Bidar district.

“70% of farmers in Bidar district are dependent on agriculture. We want them to take up millet cultivation as they supply essential nutrients to the consumers. Consumption of pearl millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, kodo millet, finger millet and ragi can help address diabetes, high blood pressure and other ailments. If farmers cultivate millets increasingly, they can save many lives while sustaining their financial stability. The government is ready to extend all possible support to millet growers,” he said.

Recalling the international millet conference held in Bengaluru, Mr. Khandre said that a time would come when everybody would look for millet consumption prompting the for millet production.

“Karnataka is among a few states in the country that are cultivating millets on a large scale. As the awareness of the health benefits of millet consumption is gradually spreading, farmers are showing interest in cultivating the millet. Once the market for millet is ensured with appropriate price, the farmers would further show interest in millet cultivation,” he said.

Mr. Khandre recalled how the Union Governments led by Congress had focussed on expanding agriculture and increasing agriculture production by building massive reservoirs and expanding irrigation.
