LAHORE: Under the vision of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, agriculture was being transformed thr-ough modern initiatives aimed at facilitating farmers and increasing crop productivity.
Acting on the directions of Chief Minister, several farmer-friendly initiatives have been launched, including deployment of agriculture interns, establishment of agriculture malls, construction of lined water channels, bulldozer operations and laser land levelling to provide direct support to farmers.
For the first time in Punjab, around 2,000 agriculture graduate interns are working in the field to guide farmers and provide technical assistance. The presence of these interns is expected to help improve wheat production across the province.
Through the CM Agriculture Internship Programme, many interns have also secured employment in the private sector after gaining practical experience in farming and crop management.
As part of the initiatives introduced under the leadership of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Model Agriculture Malls have been made operational in four major cities of the province. These malls provide farmers with essential agricultural services, inputs and guidance under one roof.
On the directions of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, construction of 10 additional Model Agriculture Malls is underway across Punjab to further facilitate farmers.
The Punjab government is also supporting farmers by providing laser land levelling and bulldozers to improve irrigation efficiency and agricultural productivity.
