About JASMIN, Jharkhand

Jharkhand, India's 28th State came into existence on 15th November 2000. The state came into being with a commitment to an all round development and prosperity of its people in general and scheduled tribes and scheduled caste in particular. Agriculture is the main stay for 80% of rural population of the state. Agriculture is their employment and primary income generating activity. The cultivable land resource of the state has good potential for higher production. For all round agriculture development, technology must be supplemented by institutional mechanism to ensure the provision of all the essential facilities and services that the farmers need to improve agronomic practices and obtain higher yields.

In Jharkhand state most of the farmers are not aware about the latest Agriculture technology and thus there is a need of training and demonstration of hi-tech technology for socio-economic development of rural farmers. Also the farmers are not aware about the quality of seeds, planting,materials, and use of Agriculture equipments.

seeing the above problem the government of jharkhand, dpt. of agriculture, animal husbandry & co-operative decides to extend the technology through in these training programme.
