Action plan mooted to boost productivity Itahari, Oct. 25 (RSS): A meeting of an agriculture engineers' task force held by the Eastern Region Agriculture Research Centre, Tarahara to boost agricultural productivity and its commercialisation in line with HMG's 20 year agricultural plan concluded Tuesday. At the meeting held for three days, the participating agricultural engineers came to the conclusion that a plan of action should be mulled in order to take all types of seeds, seedlings and livestock recommended by them down to the grassroots level and bring about substantial changes through mass production along with soil tests. The meeting also agreed on the need to make packaging for seeds, once recommended by them, available to local farmers through the centre. The task force divided into four groups comprising agricultural engineers working in the eastern part of Nepal and lead farmers of this region also reviewed the progress seen in research into various crops, livestock, fodder, fisheries, horticulture and other research and charted out a future course of action. The experts working in this field should impart knowledge about advanced technology and use of chemical fertilisers and insecticide in order to mitigate the adverse impact that crops up in the absence of knowledge about such things, the meeting concluded and stressed the need to communicate promptly about these things to the local farmers. During the meeting, Prem Chandra Prasad Chaurasiya presented a working paper on agricultural crops, Uday Chandra Thakur a paper on fodder, Hari Narayan Mandal on fisheries, Ram Lakhan Mandal on horticulture and Ramji Prasad Khadka on research work. Regional Agricultural director Ghanshyam Singh and research centre chief ChittaranjanYadav issued directives to the participants on implementing the plan of action agreed at the meeting.
