“Under the programme 'Seer's walk towards Agricultural activity,' nurseries will be set up at Mutts and plans have been made to distribute saplings, seeds through mutts for households. This will not only increase the green cover, whereas the fruits sapling distributed helps to combat malnutrition,” he added.
Company for farmers
“Producer Companies will be set up at every village to improve bargaining strength in the market. The central government has amended the Indian Companies Act to provide for producer companies. The farmers will be given Rs 1 crore investment and Rs 34 lakh subsidy for a crop under the company. The farmers should get unite and make use of the facility,” he added.

'Drought has become curse for our country. For every three years, one year there will be drought. Conservation of water is very less. The researchers should modernise seeds, which give yield only for one rainfall,' he suggested.
'Need of quality food'
