Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Sunday asked farm scientists to focus more on research in areas of animal husbandry and fisheries, to boost production and their contribution in the overall farm sector growth.
Addressing virtually the 95th foundation day of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Mr. Tomar said India holds the position of “number one or two in the world” in terms of production of most of the crops.
In achieving this feat, he said there has been immense contribution from agriculture scientists along with efforts from the farming community and policy initiatives taken by the governments.
