Deccan Herald (India) published an article on changes in agriculture in India. India’s Agriculture Secretary spoke about new ways of irrigation on farms and other technology. He said, “a historic change is underway that could dramatically increase India’s rice output, which in turn could impact world markets. “It is no less than a revolution in Indian agriculture.” Senior Research Fellow Avinash Kishore said if this year’s crop was good, DSR (direct-seeding of rice) would be the way forward. “The scale of this year’s shift to the DSR is a momentous change in rice cultivation in India.” Also published in Devdiscourse.
