Inaugurating the workshop, District Collector S. Chithra said that regional components should be given more importance for the development of agricultural sector. She said that those engaged in agriculture were most affected by climate change.
Dr. Chithra said that the government and science research organisations were duty-bound to help the farmers cope with the changing scenarios. Scientific studies should be shared with the farmers with practical knowledge, she said.
