The state Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture department is soon going to launch smart agro village scheme to develop several pockets into model agri-centres which will promote latest farming techniques and boost farmers income.
Local MLAs have been asked to recommend sites for the scheme in their respective constituencies.
Jharkhand has 81 MLAs of which the minister said that so far they have received recommendations from 36 law makers.
Detailing on the scheme, he said, Under this project, we aim to develop the identified hamlet into a model and zone.
