Karnataka Budget Highlights Millets and Sustainable Farming

 

The Karnataka government has announced several plans in its recent budget to strengthen the agriculture sector. A major focus of these plans is the promotion of millets, along with the use of technology and sustainable farming practices. The goal is to support farmers, increase their income and encourage environmentally friendly agriculture.

The government plans to improve support for farmers at every stage, from crop production to marketing. New programmes are expected to help farmers make better use of resources and find additional income opportunities. There will also be efforts to improve soil health and promote farming methods that protect natural resources.

Technology will also be used to assist farmers. The state plans to upgrade the farmer call centre with advanced digital tools so that farmers can receive timely information about weather, crop management and market prices.

Millets are an important part of the state’s agricultural strategy. The government plans to strengthen the Millet Hub and develop it into an independent organisation that can provide technical support and better market access for millet farmers.

The budget also includes initiatives to promote organic farming by creating certified organic farming clusters in different districts. Through these measures, the government hopes to build a stronger and more sustainable agriculture system in the state.
