Punjab goes to Nagaland’s Noklak for farm push
The Hindu
Aided by a police officer, food processing is changing the fortunes of the district
L. Hangthing of Nagaland’s Noklak district wanted to go to Punjab for learning modern farming techniques that would help increase the yield of his crops.
The Superintendent of Police he sought help from had a “better idea” given Noklak’s remoteness. She brought Punjab and Haryana to the farmer and others of his ilk along the border with Myanmar.
Over the months, Pritpal Kaur Batra used her connections back home in Haryana to bring farming experts from northern India for providing tips or training local farmers in Noklak. This has resulted in local farmers processing the fruits, vegetables and other crops they grow into value-added food products.
