Letters to the editor dated January 15, 2020

Farm sector growthThis has reference to ‘Agriculture needs holistic solutions’ (January 14). A few points need to be focussed on for boosting agriculture growth. Farmers must be advised to switch over from traditional water-guzzling crops to less water-consuming crops such as pulses. They must be encouraged to adopt organic farming, reduce dependency on chemical fertilisers, and go in for crop swapping every alternate year. They must also be encouraged to go in for drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. States, on their part, must build enough cold storage facilities to store the agricultural produce to be marketed later.When public sector banks and other co-operative banks do lend liberally to the farm sector, which includes for subsidiary activities such as poultry, dairy, fishery and farm mechanisation, the farmers too have make a paradigm shift in their cultivation processes and tune themselves to the compulsive changes required on their part.RV BaskaranChennaiToll fee imbroglioThis refers to media reports that the owners of vehicles with toll exemption can apply online for FASTag cards.
