Addressing the gathering, Ram Savak briefed the farmers about the Central and UT sponsored schemes of the department. He said that with highly suitable agro-climatic conditions, there is immense potential for horticulture crops in the area which must be tapped and appealed to the PRI members and field functionaries to work in tandem for doubling the farmers’ income.

He also discussed in detail the Holistic Agriculture Development Plan (HADP) and its execution with the PRI members.

Later, the Director Horticulture Jammu launched a plantation drive by planting a sampling of Citrus plant for compact plantation in a farmers’ field at village Sayal, Nardi, Akhnoor covering an area of 60 kanals.

He urged farmers to adopt integrated farming in their fields and avail the benefits of different components viz: Bore Well, Water harvesting tanks, Drip irrigation, Mechanization, Protected cultivation, Tools & Implements etc. for upliftment of their socio- economic status. Further, he impressed upon them to form Self Help Groups (SHG’s) for setting up of small fruit and vegetables processing units with the financial assistance from the department, henceforth which can play an important role in enhancing the family income.
