UNN NEWS : Union minister Parshottam Rupala on Wednesday urged farmers of the North East to replicate the Sikkim model and engage in organic farming, assuring the region of “all possible support” in this regard. The Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare said that the Centre has made efforts to encourage farmers of the region to take up organic farming practices. “Organic farming will help increase the income of the farmers, make agriculture more innovative besides boosting the overall production of the country,” Rupala said. Addressing the gathering at the Sankalp Se Siddhi programme, organised by ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region at Umiam, the minister emphasised the need to equip farmers with improved farm technologies, high yielding scientifically-produced seeds, organic fertilizers and irrigation facilities to augment their income. The minister cited the instance of Sikkim where farmers have been able to increase their income after adopting organic farming.
