The secretary of SURE H.H Mohrmen informed this at the training programme held at Moosawkhi village, West Jaintia Hills.

The officials have also asked the farmers to adopt organic farming and to avoid using chemical fertilizers as it affects people’s health and the environment.
The District Development Manager, NABARD, NG Kharlukhi said that use of chemical fertilizers is affecting the health of people and destroying the environment.
