Haryana Implements Tobacco Ban Near Schools, Enforces Strict Rules

The government in Haryana, India, has decided that it's against the rules to sell things like tobacco and gutkha close to schools, specifically within about a kilometer.

They want to protect kids from these substances.

School officials and local police will be watching to make sure the rules are followed.

This is part of a larger effort to prevent the use of these products.

People who break these rules could face fines or even jail time.

Haryana also wants to help farmers by making agriculture more successful and sustainable.

They aim to improve farming from planting to selling crops and are working with other countries to share agricultural technologies.
