Visakhapatnam: The National Women Farmer’s Day was celebrated by agriculture and its allied departments in the city on Monday. As part of the celebrations, the district administration felicitated 12 women farmers who registered extraordinary results in agriculture, animal husbandry, sericulture and other departments.
Addressing the women farmers, Visakhapatnam Zilla Parishad Chairperson L Bhavani said, “Women are not only guarding the families but are also sharing the Indian economic burden equally with men. The women farmers in all agriculture related departments are playing a vital role but sadly their services are not highlighted. Celebrating a day for them is a good platform to share the experiences with each other.”
Bhavani also called upon women to avail the government’s welfare and subsidy programmes implemented in agriculture, horticulture, sericulture and animal husbandry departments. On the occasion, the chairperson inaugurated an exhibition on agriculture products.
In agriculture department, women farmers B Satyavathi, S Nagamani, B Tulasamma, K Bhuvaneswari, P Nagalakshmi, N V Atchayamma from Paderu, Padmanabham, Hukumpeta, Cheedikada, Munagapaka and Narsipatnam mandals, in horticulture, NV Lakshmi Devi from Devarapalli mandal, K Satyavathi from Atchutapuram mandal and S Mahalakshmi, P Ushapavani and K Jamuna from animal husbandry and sericulture were felicitated as best women farmers.
