Minister Chaudhary suggests boosting productivity

Biratnagar: Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizens Bhagwati Chaudhary has suggested farmers that they boosted productivity by adopting new measures of rice cultivation.

During a programme organized on the occasion of the 21st National Paddy Day today, Minister Chaudhary viewed it was essential to ditch traditional measures of rice cultivation. ‘Modernization of agriculture with commercialization is essential so that it would yield more products,’ she underlined.

On the occasion, Koshi Province Assembly member Ram Dev Yadav, however, complained that there was no adequate investment from the government side for agriculture development.

Secretary at the Ministry of Industry, Agriculture and Cooperatives in the Koshi Province Lekhraj Dahal said relatively productive crops could be adopted for benefits.
