Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Chandigarh, October 22 – A delegation led by Sh. Aditya Devi Lal Chautala, Chairman of the Haryana Agricultural Marketing Board, including chairpersons and officials from the marketing boards of Goa, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and Assam, met with Punjab Chief Minister, Sh. Bhagwant Singh Mann, at his residence today. They apprised the Chief Minister about the Inter-State Trade Conference that held on October 20 in Panchkula.
While presenting his proposal to the Punjab Chief Minister, Chairman Sh. Chautala highlighted the potential for inter-state agricultural trade. Drawing parallels with the exchange of kinnow between Haryana and Punjab, he suggested that Goa, with its cashew and coconut production, could exchange produce with other states, including kinnow. He emphasized that such exchanges could facilitate connections between farmers across the country.
The Chairman proposed the establishment of special agriculture zones in each state, where two to three acres of land could be allocated to ensure fair prices for crops and address storage and food security issues. The Chief Minister, Sh. Bhagwant Singh Mann welcomed this proposal and expressed his agreement, indicating that Punjab would host an inter-state trade conference soon.
