Let us celebrate Kisan Mela with zeal and fervor

摘要

Present day agriculture is knowledge intensive. Ill informed farmers may face a lot of agricultural problems, if not equipped with proper knowledge. The Punjab Agricultural University was established at Ludhiana in the year 1962. Since then, the University acts as a lighthouse of agricultural knowledge for the farming community of the nation. The scientists of this University were instrumental in realizing the dream of Green Revolution by developing high yielding varieties of wheat and rice. The contemporary researchers are still putting in their enduring efforts to continue the legacy. Punjab is a land of agriculture and festivals; many religious and cultural fairs are celebrated with great zeal and fervor. The Punjab Agricultural University organizes Kisan Melas in various parts of the state for the dissemination of improved farm technology to the farmers. These farmers' fairs get overwhelming response and are attended by lakhs of farmers and farm women from across Punjab and adjoining states.
