Jammu and Kashmir | Lt Guv Manoj Sinha attended the convocation ceremony of @SKUASTJammu. The University has been rendering service to the nation by training young men and women in modern agriculture science and technology, who will shape the destiny of farming sector.

Convocation is a stage in life when students step out into real world from academic comfort of University with special knowledge & skills. I’m confident with dedication & determination they will change the face of agriculture & horticulture, which is the soul of J&K’s economy.

Our scientists, institutions & govt is making constant endeavour to modernize agriculture sector to make the farmers and villages self-sufficient. Our focus is on enhancing the capacity of the farmers so they can earn better prices and act as facilitators of economic growth.

Govt has taken certain steps for more effective implementation of schemes of agriculture & allied sector. We have made impressive progress in production, value addition and marketing in the last two years for sustainable income to the farmers.

The young scientists will spearhead the mission of holistic approach & pragmatic programme in harnessing tremendous capacities of agriculture. The pace of transforming rural economy will be accelerated by adopting modern Agri strategies & environment-friendly technologies: LG Manoj Sinha
