State lauded for implementing bio-fertiliser schemes

The role of the State in implementing the bio-fertiliser schemes has been lauded by several quarters, including the Central Government. This became evident today at the North East Zonal Conference For Kharif. Joint Secretary, Integrated Nutrient Management of the Union Government Satish Chander expressed the hope while addressing the conference that Assam would be able to lead the NE States in this area. The representatives of the Regional Centre for Organic Fertiliser told the conference that the State has around 4032.9 hectare of certified farmland for organic farming.
