DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand Governor K K Paul has asked scientists of central research institutions in the state to come up with ways to encourage small farmers to begin organic farming.

Paul made these suggestions to the scientists during his his visit to Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture (CITH) and Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Mukteshwar to study the possibilities of benefiting local farming and animal husbandry through these central research institutions, a raj bhawan release here said.

He said Uttarakhand was highly suited for horticulture due to its climate and biodiversity.

He obtained detailed information from scientists at both the institutions regarding their role in developing horticulture and animal husbandry in Uttarakhand.

Focus should be turned on research to develop good species of apples and similar fruits so that fruit growers could get profits, he told chief scientist of CITH B L Atri.

Latest species would have to be promoted as far as floriculture and horticulture is concerned to make it commercially beneficial for farmers, he said.

For this, training camps would have to be organised for farmers from time to time, he added.

Community radio centres, local TV channels and newspapers would have to be used to give regular useful information to farmers, the Governor said.

He said walnut can be a good item to promote in the state and saplings of good species of walnuts should be made available to farmers through a nursery.
