Krishi Udyami is a government programme aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and supporting employment of unemployed youth.
During the meeting, DC stressed the need for collaboration to uplift the financial status of the farming community by transforming farmers from mere producers to entrepreneurs. He stressed that all departments concerned should make all efforts in this direction.
He stressed that young educated farmers need to be motivated and guided to come forward and adopt agriculture and allied activities as income generating ventures. He also discussed the preparations for opening Kisan Khidimat Ghars (KKGs) in the district. He said that KKGs are a one-stop shop for farmers to connect with everything related to agriculture and allied sectors. These KKGs will provide access to all agricultural inputs apart from crop and weather advisory. This initiative will provide employment opportunities to the youth and easy online access to government schemes.
More than 40 Krishi Udyami were present on the occasion. Chief Agriculture Officer Reasi Harbans Singh gave a detailed overview of the job profile of Krishi Udyami and presented HADP in PPT mode. Moreover, District Level Officers of related departments also highlighted their plans.
