PANAJI: Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, will address cultivators in Goa online on August 31 to encourage them to adopt better farm practices. This announcement was made by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday.
The minister plans to interact with farmers and ‘Swayampurna Mitras,’ officials responsible for implementing government schemes, during the event. Chief Minister Sawant stated that the initiative is part of ‘Swayampurna Goa 2.0,’ aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) programme.
The interaction will be live-streamed at 213 locations across Goa, including panchayats, municipalities, and zonal agriculture offices. This marks the first time a Union minister will engage with Goan farmers online, providing guidance and motivation to improve farming practices. The state government anticipates significant benefits for rural agencies and farmers from this initiative.
