Bihar is an agriculturally dominated state. Here 88 % farmers are marginal and small. The technology developed for big farmers cannot be suitable for small and marginal farmers. Hence there is need to develop technology which may suit to small & marginal farmers in Bihar- context.
The Farmers of Bihar are lucky enough who have got a Hon’ble Chief Minister, who has been taking many important steps such as formation of Agriculture Road map, Chief minister’s Quick Improved Seed Distribution program, establishment of another Agricultural University at Bhagalpur, Formation of krishi cabinet in Bihar and plantation of 50 lacs trees to make Green Bihar are testimonies of deep affection and most priority area of Shree Nitish Kumar ji which has been praised not only by the Government of India but by the government of USA, Great Britain and Australia too. I am confident that Bihar Agriculture will certainly attend the status of international standard one day.
