    The Telangana State Agriculture Minister, S Niranjan Reddy, spoke at the Seed Mela-2023 organized by Professor Jayashankar State Agriculture University. He stressed the importance of making Telangana the seed hub for the world. The minister mentioned that the State is importing certain varieties of seeds and steps should be taken to overcome this situation.

    The minister also talked about the efforts of the State government in improving the agriculture sector and helping farmers in Telangana. The government ensured irrigation water was available for agriculture, and now the State is witnessing good access to water for irrigation across Telangana.

    Niranjan Reddy said that Telangana has favourable conditions for seed production, and farmers should focus on this front. Seeds produced in Telangana have greater demand in other places, so efforts should be made to make Telangana grow as a seed production hub to export seeds to the entire world.
