AP BJP Urges Climate-Resilient Farming Amid El Niño Threat
The BJP in Andhra Pradesh is telling farmers to get ready for changes in weather because of something called El Niño.
This could make it harder to grow crops and get enough water.
They want farmers to grow different kinds of food like millets and pulses instead of rice, which uses a lot of water.
They also want farmers to use water more carefully and learn from experts.
The BJP says there are government programs to help farmers, but some farmers say they are not getting enough help and don't want their kids to be farmers.
The BJP is planning a big meeting with young farmers to talk about these things.
BJP urges farmers to prepare for El Niño challenges with climate-resilient farming practices.
Shift from water-intensive paddy to millets, pulses, and efficient water use recommended.
Value addition suggested for crops like Totapuri mangoes, bananas, and cashew by-products.
Central schemes like PM Fasal Bima Yojana and PM Krishi Sinchayee Yojana highlighted.
Farmers express dissatisfaction with current conditions and government schemes.
