Farmers, fish farmers, project staff, and local dignitaries from various regions participated in the demonstration and field day. Successful farmers shared their success stories at the event.
In his speech, the chief guest stated that successful farmers are now cultivating multiple crops on the same land instead of a single crop. This maximizes land use, helps control weeds, allows for quicker harvest times, and adds beneficial bacteria to the soil. The remaining parts of the plants after harvest are being used as cattle feed.
