Neglected agriculture

Sir,
It is without any doubt that our agricultural sector is not getting its due attention from the State  Government. It may be because  of many factors  including  easy availability of food grains from our neighbouring states. One of the biggest problems faced by this most important sector of our State economy is that there are no proper, well defined and ever building relations and co-operation between the farming community and the Government. It seems now  the same is being addressed in a small way. It is perhaps for the first time that the Government has created Kissan Advisory Board to work as a bridge between the Government and the farmers of the State.  The farmers  through this platform  can raise the difficulties faced by them from time to time  so that they could be resolved.  Not only putting up their problems, KAB can open channels of interaction, discussions, suggestions and even constructive criticism  regarding various policies of the State Government. The need is to provide facilities at the doorsteps of the farmers by the Government agencies in all respects. The need is to further strengthen institutions like KABs  and similar platforms to ensure that the farmers can put forth their problems in an effective way. We must underline the importance of the highest order our agricultural sector is  having for the growth of the State economy.
Yours etc…
