SKDRDP to promote agriculture on 1,059 acres of barren land

-The Hindu
 

Udupi (Karnataka): The Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP) will promote agricultural cultivation in barren lands in Udupi district.

Dugge Gowda, Director of district unit of SKDRDP, said that in the present year, the SKDRDP had selected 571 families and provided them with 1,059 acres of barren lands in the district.

These families were being encouraged to cultivate paddy and vegetables in these barren lands. They were also being provided with agricultural and technical inputs on cultivation on barren lands by the experts.

The aim was not only to make barren land cultivable but also to promote agriculture and make it profitable.

This would stop migration of farmers and youth from rural areas to urban areas.

With agriculture becoming profitable, the youth would be more inclined to take it up as their profession.
