Haryana Farmers Set to Explore Modern Farming Techniques

The government of Haryana is initiating a transformative project aimed at advancing the state's agricultural practices by sending local farmers on exposure visits to other states. Announced by Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana, the initiative's purpose is to connect Haryana farmers with contemporary farming techniques and thriving markets across India.

During these visits, farmers will learn from diverse agricultural experiences in states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Telangana, known for innovations in irrigation, fruit farming, and seed production respectively. These exposure trips are expected to inspire Haryana farmers to adopt new crops and methods suited to their local soil and climate conditions.

A key aspect of these educational tours will focus on enabling farmers to establish direct market linkages, thereby improving their income by bypassing intermediaries. Ultimately, the initiative aims to create 'master trainers' who will carry forward this newfound knowledge within their communities, potentially revolutionizing Haryana's agricultural landscape.
