Rajasthan governor Margaret Alva today called upon agriculture experts, students and farmers to make maximum use of new technologies and equipments to improve production.
Speaking at the convocation programme of Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agriculture University (Bikaner) here, Alva also laid stress upon promoting distant education.
"Rapid change in life styles, social values and work ethos in every field of life, is exerting enormous pressure on colleges and universities," she said.
"To meet this requirement, Distance Education has become important. It is high time we take advantage of this system of education and make use of multi-media, e-journals and e-books for quality mass education and e-governance," she said.
The governor said that farmers, tribals and women should be empowered with technological advancements.
