Participants were also informed about agricultural development programmes and farmer welfare schemes being implemented in the district.
Speaking on the occasion, the CAO and other speakers said PM-KISAN provides timely financial assistance to farmers and called for ensuring all eligible beneficiaries are covered under the scheme.
The programme concluded with an interactive session during which farmers raised queries related to PM-KISAN and other agricultural schemes, with officers assuring continued support.
