In J&K, the shift from traditional agriculture practice to modern agriculture technology has become a major demand for better framing practices, as it would immensely contribute to the domestic GDP of the country.Agriculture play a key role in the socioeconomic augmentation of the country, but there is steady decline in agriculture’s contribution to the country’s GPD, as there is lack of comprehensive prospective plan to implement the all governmental farming schemes at the ground level. While, besides that agriculture is the biggest industry in the country.
In the state, the better collaboration between growers and horticulture department for better farming is missing; there have been continuous failure to conduct awareness camps in the nook and corner of the state.
Notably, there has been
fall in census status of fruit bearing plants across the state, which include fruit bearing plants of Mango, Plum, Walnut Apple, Apricot, Cherry and various other citrus fruits, the Horticulture Department have to undertake it as a serious concern
There is delay in modalities for the endorsement and development of crop in pirpanchal region. The unchecked mis-branded pesticides have added on to the problems of farmers in the various areas of the state. The stringent action should be taken against the owner of outlet where misbranded pesticides are found, so that poor farmers were not be misled.
Remarkably it is for the state government to conducts various mass awareness camps for growers at zonal as well as district level in collaboration with J&K Bank, SKUAST and Tourism Department to make farmers aware about modern agricultural technology. Thus, agriculture, which is the backbone of human existence, get endorsement with modern agriculture technologies, as it would significantly contribute to the domestic GDP.
