Rajasthan plans to open over 2,600 hiring centres at the panchayat samiti level in the next three years to enable the state's farmers to rent farming equipment, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said on Wednesday (9 November).
She said this at the inaugural session of the three-day Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet (GRAM) 2016, which was jointly organised by the state government and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
Raje promised to transform the state's agricultural landscape by actively promoting global best practices and invited the corporates to join hands with farmers to modernise agriculture in the state.
The Chief Minister said within a year of holding the 'Resurgent Rajasthan Summit 2015', projects valued at almost Rs 5,000 crore have been implemented in the state.
"Besides, projects worth Rs 54,000 crore and Rs 49,000 crore are under construction and under various stages of clearance respectively."
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev announced setting up of a mega food park in the state and sought the support of the state government to achieve this.
Chief Guest and Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh, Union Minister of State Parshottam Rupala, Rajasthan's Agriculture Minister Prabhu Lal Saini and Israel's ambassador to India, Daniel Carmon, spoke at the event, which was attended by hundreds of farmers from the state along with corporates, experts and stakeholders.
