‘Adapt to Grow’ is the new Mantra for Agriculture Sector. The efforts of the Progressive farmers of J&K like Baldev Raj from Simblawali village, Samba for promoting diversification in agriculture to improve agricultural productivity and boost sustainable growth are praiseworthy.  Baldev Raj’s decision for crop diversification proved to be extremely beneficial to his family and his experience is encouraging others to switch to high-value crop, the Lt Governor added.

     “We have emphasized on the IT intervention to eliminate human interface under Jan Abhiyaan and citizens have been given information about 225 online services in all panchayats,” he said.
     The Lt Governor said promoting inclusive growth and creating employment opportunities in the Agriculture and allied sectors is the priority of the administration.
     “Jan Abhiyan has brought together experts and farmers on a common platform to speed up the pace of development in this sector,” Sinha said.
     Sharing the inspirational stories of young and promising entrepreneurs from across the UT, the Lt Governor called upon the youth, especially the women folks of J&K to draw inspiration from Pulwama’s HinaParray, Ridhima Arora from Jammu and J&K’s first women e-rickshaw driver, Seema Devi.
