Agriculture is need of the world
No matter how advanced technology is, the food that man needs must come from the land itself, through agriculture, he asserted.
There is a need for farmers to grow different and diversified crops to meet the changing food requirements.
There is a need to increase the productivity of farmers' crops by adopting advanced technology, new techniques and cultivation methods. Agriculture becomes profitable if farmers grow crops according to the market demand.
There is a need to train farmers to grow crops according to international standards. After America, our country has the highest cultivated land, but China is more productive with less cultivated land than us, he explained.
Cotton is being grown in 3.25 crore acres in the country, but America is the largest producer of cotton which is being cultivated in just 80 lakh acres.
PM Modi promised to link the Employment Guarantee scheme to agriculture to overcome the shortage of labour in the country, in 2014 but failed to do so, he criticized.
He said Agricultural plots are big in foreign countries , where as agricultural plots are small in India.
The agriculture sector has the power to drive the Indian economy, if it is strengthened in all aspects, he emphasized. The farmers of the State gain confidence under TRS regime, he added.
Telangana is the only state which is top in the country in both welfare and development, he stated.
