Crucial sectors
Sheikh Hasan / Driknews
Nothing remarkable has yet taken place in our country as far as the expansion of the industrial sector is concerned. Financial constraints and lack of technological support are said to have been the main reasons behind this situation. However, in no way can we ignore the base of our main economic developmentagriculture sector. Nor can the expansion of the former sector be overlooked, for it is of great importance in developing a country rapidly. Implementing some effective plans that involve bringing all the existing lands under cultivation and giving special subsidy in agriculture sector can play a vital role in attaining self-sufficiency in food. The farmers, these days one of the neglected sections, must be provided with all the facilities ranging from government subsidy to technical support. To be precise, technical support refers to ensuring proper power supply for irrigation, scientific know-how and so on. Alarmingly enough, the farmers are often deprived of these supports, leading them to stay away from farming. Giving this sector a scientific look is the need of the hour. Cultivable lands must not be used for other purposes. Considering the needs of the present day world, we have to proceed accordingly.
