During a virtual address at the Balram Krishi Mahotsav organized in Mauganj, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav emphasized that the state government's primary resolve is to ensure the prosperity of farmers. He encouraged taking up animal husbandry and dairy production alongside farming, as well as adopting new technologies for continuous changes in the agricultural sector.
The Chief Minister also expressed his greetings on Dol Gyaras to the farmers and the general public participating in the Mauganj programme. He virtually paid obeisance to Lord Bholenath at Dev Talab and Ashtabhuja Maharani.
Farmers are moving towards higher production at lower costs through initiatives like neem-coated urea, nano urea, high-quality seeds, and natural farming. Innovation-based cultivation of strawberries, black potatoes, special varieties of watermelon, and makhana is being encouraged in Mauganj. The people particularly appreciate the taste of tomatoes and onions produced locally.
Fisheries, animal husbandry, and food processing are playing an important role in increasing farmers’ incomes. The Chief Minister also urged farmers to give priority to dairy production alongside farming and take advantage of initiatives like the Sanchi brand promoted in collaboration with the National Dairy Development Board.
The Sitapur-Hanumana Pressurised Micro-Irrigation Scheme aims to provide irrigation facilities to 1.20 lakh hectares of land. Work on this project, as well as the Nayi Garhi Pressurized Micro-Irrigation Project, is progressing rapidly in Mauganj district. The state government is working continuously towards strengthening agriculture, ensuring farmers’ prosperity, promoting agriculture-based industries, and creating employment opportunities for youth within their own district.
