Indian Army constructs poly house in Poonch, trains villagers in farming

The poly house built by the Indian Army at Poonch

Poonch (Jammu and Kashmir): The Indian Army of Poonch Brigade constructed a huge poly house in the district's Seklu village to boost all-weather vegetable cultivation and provided training and awareness to the villagers about the functioning and use of the poly house. The farmers were provided seeds by the horticulture department. The chief of the department praised the project built by the Indian Army.

"It's a great project by the Indian Army, which will help numerous poor farmers in the region.The crops can't grow especially when the area is snow-covered, but the main advantage of this poly house is that the weather conditions do not have an effect on the crops inside. The locals can get yields and gain the maximum profits even between the months of January and March", said Satveer Singh, Chief Horticulture Officer of Poonch district.
