Sikkim, June 28 (ANI): India's eight northeastern states will be provided Rs. 100 crore from the Agricultural Ministry for supporting rice cultivation under the National Food Security Mission (NFSM).
Till last year, only Assam was covered under National Food Security Mission-rice. This will also help the states to attain self-sufficiency in rice production.
States are given assistance for a large number of activities including seed distribution, soil management, pest control, machines and tools, training and field demonstrations under NFSM-rice.
The interventions planned under NFSM are also likely to improve rice yield, which is low in the northeastern states. (ANI)
