Experts attending an agricultural fair at Chirawa in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district laid emphasis on adopting an integrated approach to agriculture for enhancing the farmers’ income. A call was also made for promoting horticulture to support the rural economy, which would reduce the dependence of farmers on the market.
The day-long fair, organised earlier this week, provided an exposure to the participants to new agricultural techniques, bio-farming, natural farming and the improved crop and seed varieties. Over 5,000 farmers from the Shekhawati region were apprised of new trends in agriculture, which would help them in getting higher crop yields at their fields.

Bulandshahr-based farmer, educator, and trainer Bharat Bhushan Tyagi said the climate change and unchecked exploitation of ground water was constantly reducing farmers’ income. “Farmers must adopt an integrated approach to agriculture and take up works such as food proceedings, besides getting certification for their produces to get remunerative prices,” he said.
The fair was organised by the Ramkrishna Jaidayal Dalmia Seva Sansthan in association with the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Abusar, and the Centre for Environment & Development Study, Jaipur. Dalmia Seva Sansthan’s trustee Raghu Hari Dalmia said the farmers should pay attention to water harvesting and grow the crops which require less water.
