UP Aims to Reach 50 Lakh Farmers in Agriculture Campaign
The Uttar Pradesh government is launching a special program called Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan to help farmers learn new and better ways of farming.
The campaign wants to teach farmers about new crops and how to take care of the soil.
The government will also provide information on existing plans and benefits for the farmers.
This should help farmers to grow more food.
UP hopes to teach millions of farmers and will focus on helping them to access govt support to increase the value of farms.
UP aims to reach 50 lakh farmers with the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, contributing one-third of the national target.

Farmers will receive education on kharif crop technologies, natural farming, and environmental benefits.
