The program was aimed to uplift rural economy and encourage large scale production of horticultural products. Neiba Kronu, Deputy Chairman, State Planning Board delivered the key note address. He stressed on the need for self reliance; to tie up with ICAR, and banks for loans, rather than to always depend on government subsidies.
