Andrabi highlighted the role of Agriculture department as an important stakeholder and directed the Chief Agriculture Officers, officers of the Law Enforcement Agency and other senior officers of the department to play their role with utmost commitment to check the conversion of Agriculture land. He called upon the officers to ensure necessary steps to increase awareness among the farmers regarding the long-term impact of farmland conversion.

He deliberated upon the officers that during the farmer’s exposure visits/awareness camps organised under ATMA and other Schemes, the farmers should be given Training/Awareness about growing of area specific crops and High-Value crops having commercial value to increase their income.
