CHANDIGARH, JUNE 16
About 30 lakh seedlings of vegetables have been prepared in the Centre of Excellence for Vegetables at Gharaunda in district Karnal which is set up under an Indo-Israel project and these seedlings are provided to the farmers on subsidy. Also, subsidy has been given to the farmers to set up poly houses over an area of 100 acres in the district at a cost of Rs. 17 crore.
While giving this information here today, an official spokesman said that with a view to improve the economic status of farmers, they were being encouraged to undertake protected farming in the poly houses.
He said that by adopting poly houses for farming, the income of farmers is increasing by manifolds as compared to the conventional farming. He said that a subsidy of 65 per cent was also being provided to the farmers for setting up of poly house. He said that efforts were also being made by NABARD to help those farmers who intended to do farming through poly house but even after getting the subsidy of 65 per cent from the State Government were unable to share the remaining 35 per cent amount.
To facilitate such farmers, besides the Cooperative Banks and PACS Banks, a few nationalized banks have also been contacted so that they could provide loan to such farmers for setting up of poly house. This would not only benefit the farmers but
the business of banks would also flourish, he added.
He said that after the setting up of Centre of Excellence of Vegetables at Gharaunda, the farmers are taking interest towards protected farming. He said that farming through poly house is free from pesticides and as a result of this farmers get remunerable prices
of their produce in the market. He said that to encourage the farmers, they were also being imparted training regarding farming through poly house. After getting training from this Centre of Excellence, the farmers of not only Haryana but also of other States are taking up protected farming through poly houses.
