PNB to set up agriculture training centre in HP

Punjab National Bank (PNB) will soon set up an agriculture training centre to train farmers in latest advancements in the farming sector. The state government has already started scouting for land.

This was decided at a meeting between the PNB chairman, K R Kamath, and the state chief minister, P K Dhumal, here on Monday.

“The state government will transfer the suitable land to PNB so that work can start early on the project to train farmers with the best skills in the agriculture sector,” he said. Around 90 per cent of the people in the hill-state live in villages and practice agriculture in the hard terrain.
