SHILLONG, Oct 14: In a bid to oversee and evaluate facilities for the benefit of farmers, Agriculture Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh on Saturday visited North Garo Hills district along with Kharkutta MLA Rupert Momin.
The agricultural Sarangma Horti Hub of Black Pepper and Khasi Mandarin Nursery and the Gerbera poly house under RIDF were found to be functioning well, and receiving positive responses from beneficiaries at large.
Integrated Bee Development Centre (IBDC) at Sambrak has the state-of-the-art facilities for providing training, processing, testing, and manufacturing of bee boxes for honey production.
The department will make the centre fully operational in the next coming months.
The minister also visited the Sambrak farm where very shortly, a GVK project is also due to be operationalised. The Sambrak State Seeds Farm covers an area of 144 Ha.
