Agriculture

The Agriculture Department's ₹14.05 crore programme covers 120 primary and 1,080 secondary villages. Farmers from the secondary villages are trained at the primary ones, and 1,150 acres of crop demonstrations are planned — 750 acres in rabi and 400 in the summer season — for millets, pulses, oilseeds, spices and horticulture.

Each district also gets a 30-acre seed hub, along with soil testing, custom hiring centres for machines, bee boxes and vermicompost units. Registered farmers with 0.5 to 3 acres are eligible.
