The Holistic Agriculture Development Program (HADP) is poised to revolutionize agriculture in Jammu and Kashmir, declared Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. Speaking at the Litchi Festival and an agriculture exhibition, Sinha emphasized that HADP could tackle farmers' challenges and diversify their income streams.

The Lt Governor lauded the unique initiative as a testament to his administration's dedication to farmers' welfare and its resolve to uncover new opportunities for their prosperity.

Sinha congratulated all stakeholders involved and called for united efforts to ensure HADP's effective implementation, especially in the Jammu division. He urged agricultural universities to engage in focused interventions to boost farmers' incomes in the litchi plantation sector.

The government's target is to transform 160 hectares of litchi cultivation land into a high-density plantation over the next few years, assuring the necessary administrative support. Sinha also praised farmers' contributions, particularly those inspiring small and marginal farmers towards crop diversification.

During the event, the Lt Governor visited various stalls set up by farmers and entrepreneurs, felicitating winners with the best stalls. Additionally, a book on litchi cultivation was launched to mark the occasion.
