Reaching out to farmers via web

Jalandhar, August 6 The Agriculture Department on Thursday held a webinar for the farmers wherein their queries were dealt with and the issues being faced by them amid the pandemic were discussed. The officials guided the farmers via video-conferencing. Around 10 farmers from the district attended today’s seminar. Naresh Gulati, the agriculture officer, said that holding interactions with the farmers was only alternative and beneficial also. “Because the farmer could be sitting anywhere, he may be at his home or in the fields, the department can connect to them and they can easily join in too,” Gulati said.
