"Rural agriculture, tribal economy is in trouble....If we want to be atmanirbhar (self-reliant), then we need to concentrate more on rural agriculture," Union minister Nitin Gadkari said.
Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said in order to make the country self-reliant, there is a need to focus more on rural agriculture, which is in "trouble".
The road transport and highways minister also emphasised on finding the best raw material available in an area so that value addition can be done.
"Rural agriculture, tribal economy is in trouble....If we want to be atmanirbhar (self-reliant), then we need to concentrate more on rural agriculture," the minister said while addressing the convocation ceremony of the World University of Design (WUD).
There are various things like bamboo in which value addition can be done, he added.
