The farmers’ friends recruited by the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to promote the cause of gentrification in the state were given a one-day training by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Speaking in the opening session of the training program on this occasion, the SDM of Abohar Mr. Akash Bansal IAS said that efforts are being made by the government for crop diversification.
He said that farmers should be motivated and technical information should be given to the farmers to encourage the practice of Kisan Mitra Narme.
