Farmers Training: Many Programmes Different Numbers

The number of farmers trained by government has increased significantly in at least one programme, if the figures given in the Lok Sabha are any indication.

In a recent reply to a question, Narendra Singh Tomar, Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare, said training was given to 5.11 lakh farmers under National Food Security Mission (NFSM) till December 3 of 2019-20 as against 3.42 lakh for the whole of 2018-19. This amounts to a growth of 49.48 per cent over the full financial year of 2018-19.
