UP Government Promotes Sesame Farming with Subsidies and Training

The Uttar Pradesh government wants farmers to grow more sesame, which is a type of seed.

To help, they are giving money off the cost of sesame seeds.

They are also teaching farmers better ways to grow sesame to get more seeds from the same amount of land.

The government hopes to help farmers make more money by reducing costs and increasing the amount they can harvest.

The price the government will pay for the sesame seeds has also been set.

Farmers can also use unused land for sesame farming and make extra money from it.

Farmers can earn up to ₹1 lakh per hectare by using scientific farming techniques.
