PAU rewards industrious farmers

摘要

Franklin was right when he said that nations can acquire wealth by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favour, asa reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry. Agriculture, the most holy occupation, gives riches to a nation as its real strength lies in the cultivators of the land. The growth of an agricultural country like India directly commensurates with the prosperity of the farmers. The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), one of the premiere farm institutes of the country, has maintained a rich tradition of honouring the innovative and progressive farmers of the state during Kisan Mela for their excellence in agricultUl’e and allied activities. On March 14 2014, PAU honoured five progressive farmers of Punjab.
