The establishment of J&K State Advisory Board for Development of Kisans by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir is a sincere and powerful demonstration of Government’s resolve to look into the worsening plight of farmers of the State. It would be an arm of the State Government closer to the farmers and its work would be more relevant in addressing the problems that farmers face in their daily drudgery. Although there are numerous boards based upon the markets, mandies, commodities etc in the country but the Advisory Board for Development of Kisans with a holistic and synergetic mission concentrated on welfare and development of farmers of the State is unique of its kind in the country. |

The Board so far organized various Kisan Melas-cum-awareness Camps at district, tehsil and panchayat levels throughout the State wherein concerned District Development Commissioners, Officers of the Agriculture and allied departments and progressive Kisans participated. The Kisans were apprised about the latest techniques of farming and the Scientists and extension workers of KrishiVigyanKendras demonstrated the innovative methods of farming to the audiences which were organized by the Kisan Board through the medium of ICE (Information, Communication and Education) programmes. With the interaction between the Kisans and Officers, many issues got resolved on spot by the intervention of the concerned Deputy Commissioners and Agriculture Officers. |
