Dimapur, October 1 (MExN): The Government of Nagaland and ‘Haenam County’ of South Korea have entered into an agreement “to revive the agricultural sector and rural economy of the state.” A pilot project is to be designed to act as a conduit to send youths to South Korean for ‘practical training’ and ‘field studies.’

Minister Planning and Coordination TR Zeliang informed today that the state government envisages preparing a pilot project for “adequate technological interventions” to realize the terms of agreement.
“This model if adopted, it will enable the farmers of the state to earn sustainable income which will be at par with industrial productivity margins,” Zeliang said in a communiqué today. The communiqué did not give details about the said “Haenam County,” whether it is a government province, sector firm or a firm.
The pilot project will be a test case application, he said, and eventually would be scaled up “for repeating in other areas.” Once the pilot project is designed, selected youth from the project area will be sent to South Korea for “practical training and field studies,” the minister said.
“It is high time for the state to take stock of its technological base especially in the rural areas and to identify the critical gap areas. The visit to South Korea was helpful in drawing a striking contrast with eastern models, where the self sustaining agrarian economy is strong and self dependent.”
He also said that the “parliamentary tour” to China “was helpful to draw the relevance of preserving the traditions and the historical values, irrespective of the political perceptions.”

A “parliamentary study tour” of legislators from both the ruling and opposition along with senior officers “successfully completed” and returned to India on September 30.
A note from the assembly informed today that the legislators attended a seminar at Cannan Farmers School on September 23.
Some of the principles of the school, according to a note from the state assembly, are “Do not eat to eat, but eat to work. If you don’t like to work, do not eat. Work at least four hours for each meal. Don’t tell people to work, but be the one to work first.
The legislators were also given an elaborate presentation about the institute. The institute has created model villages enabling them to earn Rs.70 to 80 lakhs per annum per family only through agri-allied activities in a mere 150 Ha.
“The members of the delegation are of the clear view that to improve work culture in our land it would be appropriate to take a policy decision for cooperation with the institute for training our farmers in a continued and systematic way. The APC office and the agriculture and allied departments is likely to take necessary follow up actions in this regard,” the assembly said.
The delegation then visited Beijing in China as a “post seminar tour” on September 25.They visited prominent points of the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square and the Lama Temple.
“The parliamentary study tour has enabled the delegation not only to have an exposure but has given tremendous inspiration to the members of the delegation. The tour concluded successfully with all the members safely arriving back,” the note added.
