Emphasising the role of agrarian economy in strengthening the country’s economy and also in its progress, Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has called for more focus on further development of agriculture and villages.
Speaking at the second convocation of the Karnataka State Rural Development and Panchayat Raj University (KSRDPRU) in Gadag on Wednesday, the Governor said that the panchayat raj system is the most ancient system of governance and there is a need for further strengthening and improvising it.
Referring to climate change and global warming, he said that these are signs of impending danger. “As there is a possibility of scarcity of water in the coming years, there is a dire need for effective measures for water conservation and also economical use of water,” he said.
