Use Infra Fund and subsidy on drones, farmers told

Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Kailash Choudhary called upon the farmers to make use of government’s schemes such as Agriculture Infrastructure Fund and subsidy on purchase of drones.

Participating in the inaugural session of TechBharat 2022, a three-day conclave and exhibition that seeks to bring together stakeholders from the food technology and agriculture sectors at CFTRI in Mysuru, Mr. Chaudhary emphasised the need for farmers to add value and brand their produce by setting up their own processing units so that their earnings increase.
