Mechanisation of the farm sector and efficient diffusion of appropriate technology at the grassroots would be thrust areas for the Assam Agriculture Department. They would involve a team of skilled human resource base, including administrators and agri-scientists. Speaking at a press conference Pramila Rani Brahma, the State Agriculture Minister asserted that such a strategy was necessary to bring much needed growth to the almost stagnant agri-sector.
