Krishi mela will be held for three days instead of one day, as was was announced earlier.
Agriculture Minister P. M. Narendraswamy on Friday said that krishi mela at the Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra (GKVK) in Bengaluru will be held for three days this year as well. “Given the drought conditions prevailing in the State, there had been discussions about limiting the Mela to a single day. However, the event will continue for three days, just as in previous years,” he said.
The three days event will proceed to introduce farmers to agricultural innovations and drought-management strategies, despite the current drought situation.
He further noted that a three-day krishi mela will be also held in Mandya. “Three-day krishi mela have already been organised at the Universities of Agriculture Sciences in Shivamogga and Dharwad. These events have provided thousands of farmers with information on new crop varieties and technologies, as well as methods for managing drought,” he said.
