The LRD team visited Karnataka from October 17 to 21 to get firsthand knowledge about coffee farming and to seek the expertise of Coffee Board of India and its research centres. Declared as the nodal department for revival of coffee plantation in the state, the Department of Land Resources is working full swing despite non-release of funds from the government.
