Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh today stressed on the need for innovation and research to benefit farmers and help villages prosper.
Addressing the first convocation of agriculture university in Jobner near here, he said agricultural scientists and experts should focus on new innovations and research for the development of farming to benefit a common farmer.
"I understand the pain of a farmer. For the prosperity of a farmer, basic amenities like electricity, water and road infrastructure are necessary," he said.
Singh said a farmer's hut will have to be transformed into a concrete house and water for irrigation should also be provided.
He also insisted that there should be a specialised course in agriculture business.
