The Haryana government has announced to institute four “Dugad Ratna Awards”, each carrying Rs.1 lakh each in the categories of high yield of milk of buffalo, indigenous cow, foreign breed cow and goat.
Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister OP Dhankar said that after the implementation of the concept of peri-urban agriculture in the areas of National Capital Region (NCR) falling in Haryana, a target has been fixed to boost white-revolution in the state.
Dhankar said that the Agri-Leadership Summit would certainly change the direction and condition of traditional cultivation in the state. The farmers could significantly contribute in strengthening the economy of the state.

With their dedication and hard work, they can strengthen their hold on Rs.36,000 crore market and develop the liking of people of Delhi and its surrounded areas for their own products and brands, he added.
He said that a number of messages have been received from the other states, seeking cooperation from Haryana for holding such summits in their own states.
The minister was speaking at a function organised in Panchkula to honour the farmers, stakeholders and officials of different departments who had significantly contributed to the success of second Agri-Leadership Summit held recently at Surajkund.
