ABF Biotech-KISAN Hub is a new programme funded by Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India (GOI), under DBT’s mission programme, Biotech-Krishi Innovation Science Application Network (Biotech-KISAN) that empowers farmers through science.
ABF Biotech-KISAN Hub team visited fields of fellow farmers at Narpala village, Narpala Mandal of Anantapur. During the interaction, farmers expressed their happiness towards the distribution and field level demonstrations by the Hub. They expressed that the bio-products given to them were showing results in terms of disease control and plant growth promotion. Hub recorded the data. Check us on Youtube
