CHANDIGARH, SEPT 2
Different
varieties of vegetables would be cultivated through organic farming over an
area of four acres at cost of Rs. 1.65 crore at Centre of Excellence for
Vegetables at Gharaunda, district Karnal to promote cultivation of vegetables
through organic farming among farmers.
This
was disclosed during the visit of Ambassador of Israel to Nepal Mr. Hanan Goder
to the Centre of Excellence for Vegetables at Gharaunda today.
Mr.
Goder was apprised that this Indo-Israel collaborated project has been set up
at a cost of Rs. six crore under National Horticulture Mission in the year
2011. During this short span, this centre has generated revenue of about Rs.
three crore. This centre had provided about 50 lakh high variety, pest-free and
best quality vegetables saplings at 50 per cent subsidized rates to farmers of
the state which includes coloured Capsicum, Cheery Tomato, Cucumber, off-season
melon, green chili, brinjal etc.
Highly
impressed with the techniques being used in the Centre, Mr. Goder said that
soon 21 progressive farmers of Nepal would visit this Centre for training so
that they could disseminate the information gathered at the Centre to other
farmers of Nepal thus increasing commercial farming in that country.
He
said that the farmer in Nepal does not have big farms like Indian farmers and
they do not get as much subsidy as Indian farmers by the Government. Now, Nepal
government has taken a step for the betterment of farmers and facilities would
be provided to farmers on the pattern of Centre of Excellence for vegetables at
Gharaunda to increase their income.
