<i>Talk shows on agriculture </i>

The TV channels are holding talk shows on agricultural production, price level and inflation. The marginal farmers who do not have any TV set or any access to information are not really reaping any benefit from this type of talk shows. Those who listen to this type of talk shows are well aware. It is better to hold a seminar or a talk show at the village or thana level and deliver the message on the spot. It will be beneficial if we verify on the spot whether all cultivable land has been tilled, whether good seeds, seedlings, manure, water and agri-loan have been made available to them. If not, remedial measures should be adopted in consultation with the authorities concerned or the administration.
