As part of Agri-Intex 2017, a seminar styled Uzhave Thalai was organised jointly by Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore, and Codissia here.
It was resolved at the seminar to implement Organic Agriculture Policy in Tamil Nadu as exists in other states.
The State and Central governments should be persuaded to form new marketing methods and invest in new agro technologies, and the Tamil Nadu Government should should refrain from permitting use of fertile agricultural land for any other purpose, the organisers stressed.
The seminar was inaugurated by BK Krishnaraj Vanavarayar, Chairman, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
“Our farmers are good at adopting new technologies. All they need at present is proper guidance and leadership,” he said.
The organisers brought farmers, non-farmers and the younger generation who had taken to farming as a hobby to share their success stories and the innovative ways they had used to make farming interesting and viable. Close to 1,300 persons attended the seminar.
