Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, Dr. Veerendra Heggade called upon farmers to carry out planned and systematic agricultural activities to get good yield and profit.

After inaugurating “Krishi Mela” at Kalpataru grounds in Tiptur town in the district here on Thursday, Mr.Heggade said that farmers must adopt technology in their agricultural activities which will help them financially. He said farmers have to adopt scientific methods and must not stick to the old methods in agriculture. He said one more ‘Green revolution’ must happen to promote and encourage farmers to carry out agricultural activities scientifically.

Mr.Heggade said people should give importance for small savings and must not neglect as it will help them and their families during difficult times. Self-Help Groups are helping the women and women farmers to become economically empowered.
