Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the agriculture ministry to assess if the annual agri-science fair (Krishi Unnati Mela) is benefitting the farming community or not.
He also said such agri-fairs should be organised in remote rural places for better dissemination of farm technologies and government programmes.
Addressing the three-day mela held in the Pusa complex here, Modi said: "There should be an analysis of the impact of such melas. What has been the impact on farmers and if they have learned from mela -- such analysis will be of help."
The Prime Minister appealed to the visiting farmers to spend more time at the fair and learn about new farming technologies. "Take back home what you learnt from here and share it with fellow farmers in your village."
