Agricultural innovation
Your DU correspondent's report (Oct:24) about Saifuddin Ahmad's prize-winning essay on agricultural innovation is a worthwhile tribute to one of our talented fellows. Agriculture is the backbone of our economic system; and any improvement in this important sector will result in qualitative improvement in the lives of our farmers. Such creative effort deserves national recognition. Our government should take up the issues presented in the essay and transform it into applicable pragmatic work methods and instructions to encourage our farmers to adopt the proposed methods outlined in the essay.
The matter needs to be developed and followed up by the relevant ministry and agriculture departments to implement the proposed ideas without any delay. The CTG should follow up and monitor the progress of this programme with all sincerity and seriousness. Such ideas like this; and another that proposed introducing mushroom cultivation as a staple food; deserves the government' s attention and serious follow-up at the highest level.
Such efforts can help to transform the fabric of our agricultural society.
