This advance technical system of irrigation cost Rs1.80lakh and will irrigate the land admeasuring 3.5hectares. Goa government has facilitated the farmers by announcing 90percent subsidy on fitting of such irrigation system.
Addressing the farmers Mr Satish Tendulkar briefed different schemes launched by government of Goa for promotion of agriculture in hinterland areas. He said that this unique and advance technique of irrigation is more helpful in state of Goa where rainfall is variable and unpredictable. He further told that the nature of soil is such that water easily percolated and doesn’t help crops when there is need of irrigation.
He further advice farmers to install such irrigation system which is feasible now and helps to manure the crops through the additional tank fitted to this system. ‘The best thing is adequate amount of water and fertilizers are added to the crops which help the crops to yield good output’ he pointed. He also informed that in last 5 years around 50 farmers have been benefited through this scheme which has covered about 38 hectare of land. He also urged local farmers to take optimum use of this scheme launched by the state government.
Such things must be implemented in Goa. Instead of doing all such good things which can be helpful to the Goans and the the Goan farmers the Govt of Goa is out to loot and rob land and fields of the Goans and give them to the ghanttis. I have heard from Menino that Father Inacio is doing a wonderful job in Birondem (Valpoi). This is good. Really appreciated. Well done Abdulla with you coverage.
ReplyDeleteThank God that the dumb and illiterate MLAs are not seen here inaugrating the Drip Irrigation System. Shyam in these type of projects these 40 thieves cannot rob or loot so they will not implement such schemes. This department belongs to the pig of Varca, Chorchill Alemao the biggest thief and looter of Goa. He is not seen anywhere here as there is nothing to loot.
ReplyDeletePlease can someone give me contact details of suppliers of drip irrigators.
