On the directions of the Chief Minister, Dr. Pramod Sawant the Taluka Nodal Officers and Swayampurna Mitras under the Swayampurna Goa Programme visited Shri Varad Samant farm in Dharbandora to study the farming methods and technologies used by Shri Samant in his farm. This will help to disseminate the information and knowledge to other farmers so that they may adopt effective ways of enhancing farming and give a boost to agriculture in the State.

Citing the importance of agriculture Shri Varad Samant said agriculture has become cornerstone of human civilization, providing important resources for survival and development. Agriculture supports livelihoods, drives economic growth and nurtures communities by being a primary source of food, raw materials, and employment for a huge chunk of the population
