Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday reviewed the progress in the sowing of the country’s kharif crops and directed officials to step up efforts to enhance the production of pulses.
The Agriculture Minister held a meeting with a high-level delegation from Chhattisgarh, including the state's Agriculture Minister Ramvichar Netam at Krishi Bhavan in New Delhi.
He said that about 86 per cent of the farmers are small-marginal farmers. “We have to create farming models where farmers can earn their livelihood properly even in farming of up to one hectare,” he said.
He told the officials that they should focus their entire attention on farmer-oriented work so that work can be done speedily.
Mr Chouhan, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, visited various offices in the Ministry and interacted with staff at various levels, including cleanliness workers. He exhorted them to work as a team for achieving the government vision for welfare of farmers and work in cooperation with each other.
Fielded against Congress candidate and ex-MP Pratap Bhanu Sharma from Vidisha, Chouhan won the Lok Sabha elections by a huge margin of 8,21,408 votes.
The leaders, who are likely to be made ministers in his new Cabinet, included both old and new faces.
