Jharkhand govt to open 100 schools for farmers to help maximise profit

The Jharkhand government will open 100 kisan pathshalas (schools for farmers) to provide training and other aid to help them maximise profit, CM Hemant Soren said. Inaugurating the first such facility in Khunti, Soren said, "Around 80% of...state's population is dependent on agriculture." These schools would provide consultancy to farmers about alternate cropping and usage of modern technology.
