LUCKNOW, May 30 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said the state government has decided to take research of the scientists from laboratory to the agriculture field under Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan. "The scientists working in laboratories, agricultural universities, and Krishi Vigyan Kendras will go into the fields to work directly with farmers and help tackle agricultural challenges," he said while launching the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan in the state here. "The agricultural scientists will not only carry out research in laboratories but will also visit farms and interact with farmers. This will lead to a new revolution in the agriculture sector. The work being done in research centres should be clearly visible on the ground," the CM said. The campaign will run from May 29 to June 12."The unpredictable weather can affect production. Good seeds planted on time can yield good crop but even a month's delay can reduce output by up to 30%. It is important to spread awareness among farmers to ensure they get the right seeds at the right time," Yogi added."To bridge the gap between farmers in west U.P. and other regions, the state government has expanded Rs 4,000 crore World Bank-funded project to 28 districts in the Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, and Vindhya regions," the CM added. He expressed gratitude to PM Narendra Modi and Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for initiating the important step. "In the past eight years, the double-engine government in Uttar Pradesh has actively worked to improve the lives of farmers.," he said....
