Why It's Important?
The push for technology adoption and crop rotation in Nagaland highlights the government's focus on modernizing agriculture to increase efficiency and output. By encouraging farmers to use technology and diversify crops, the initiative aims to boost agricultural productivity and sustainability. This approach is crucial for regions like Nagaland, where traditional farming practices may limit growth potential.
