Coimbatore: There is a need for a paradigm shift in the governments, Parliament, legislature and NITI Aayog’s attitude towards agriculture, giving it attention and encouragement, said Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu. Delivering the 41st convocation address at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University on Thursday, he said they should understand the problems of agriculture and address them in a timely basis. He said the government should always lend a helping hand to farmers and agriculture, which is already prone to the vagaries of the monsoon. Naidu said though all state and central governments are adding facilities for farmers like rural godowns, cold storages, refrigeration vans and affordable cheap credit, a lot more needed to be done to encourage agriculture and farmers, who work not only for themselves but for the whole country.
