HYDERABAD: Sindh Agriculture Director General Hidayatullah Chajjro has said the farmers training and skill development centre established by the Sindh Chamber of Agriculture (SCA) is providing knowledge to farmers to a great extent.

If this programme was started in every district of Sindh, besides Hyderabad, farmers would get information about cultivation of crops and land preparation and management, he said while speaking at a programme organised in the centre by the SCA on Thursday.

Such training centres were needed in every district, he said, to benefit farmers largely in getting knowledge about different needs of crops and land management through this programme.

He said experts of the agriculture extension department would also share their experience and information with farmers, adding that while it was basically the job of his department, but SCA’s initiative would supplement this effort and eventually lead to development and progress of the agriculture sector.
