A three-day Union Territory (UT)-level Apex Committee mid-term review of the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP) began today at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K), Shalimar.
The review meeting is being presided over by renowned agricultural scientist Dr. Mangla Rai, who is also the chairman of the Apex Committee. Senior officials, agricultural experts, scientists, and representatives from allied departments are participating in the deliberations.
Officials said the mid-term review aims to assess the implementation progress of HADP projects across Jammu and Kashmir, identify challenges, and suggest corrective measures to ensure timely achievements of set targets. The programme is expected to play a transformative role in strengthening the agri-economy of the region by focusing on modern farming practices, technological interventions, and value-chain development.
Dr. Rai, while opening the session, stressed the importance of integrated efforts between government departments, research institutions, and farmers for successful implementation. He emphasised that HADP has the potential to boost productivity, generate employment, and enhance farmers’ income across the UT.
The review meetings will continue over the next two days, covering project-specific presentations, field-level assessments, and future planning.
