Developed Agricultural Resolution Campaign inaugurated by Maharashtra CM Fadnavis
Parbhani, May 29 (UNI) The nationwide 'Developed Agricultural Resolution Campaign' was inaugurated in Maharashtra by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday.
The Chief Minister flagged off the campaign's chariot at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University in Parbhani.
Modern agricultural methods, prosperous farmers and science-based agriculture are necessary to accelerate the concept of a developed India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The agriculture sector is the backbone of the country's economy and employs more than half of the country's population along with food security. For this, the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare and Rural Development, under the leadership of Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan, will implement the "Developed Agriculture Sankalp Abhiyan" across the country from May 29 to June 12, 2025.
Fadnavis expressed his hope that if this campaign is successful, the farmers of Maharashtra will get accurate guidance for planning the Khariff crop through this medium.
Altogether 2170 expert teams visiting more than 65,000 villages in 723 districts of the country will participate in this campaign.
Each team will have at least four scientists. These teams will include scientists from agricultural universities, experts from research institutes, officials from government departments, innovative farmers and FPO employees. The campaign aims to reach more than 1.3 crore farmers in the country.
In Maharashtra, the campaign will be implemented in 4,500 villages through the Agriculture Department and 50 Agricultural Science Centres. For the Marathwada region, 12 Agricultural Science Centres in eight districts are under the jurisdiction of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University. UNI VKB SSP
