Agricultural Innovation Empowers Local Farmers Through Specialised Horticultural Training.






The verdant landscapes of Sikkim witnessed a significant agricultural knowledge-sharing initiative on Wednesday, as the ICAR-National Research Centre, in strategic partnership with the State Horticulture Department, conducted a comprehensive orchid cultivation training camp at Pragna Bhavan.


Agriculture Minister Ratan Lal Nath officially inaugurated the programme, signalling the government's commitment to diversifying and strengthening agricultural practices in the region. The event brought together key stakeholders, including MLA Jitendra Majumder, Quality Research Team (QRT) Chairman Dr H.P. Singh, and distinguished agricultural expert Dr Girpal Singh, formerly of the Potato Research Centre.


The meticulously designed one-day workshop was crafted to equip local farmers with sophisticated orchid cultivation techniques, representing a pivotal step towards transforming agricultural sustainability and economic opportunities. Participants received not just theoretical knowledge but practical planting materials, enabling immediate implementation of learned strategies.


Orchid cultivation emerges as a promising alternative agricultural pathway, offering farmers a potentially lucrative venture that harmonises ecological sensitivity with economic productivity. The training camp's comprehensive approach addressed critical aspects of orchid husbandry, from optimal growing conditions to advanced propagation methodologies.


By providing farmers with specialised skills and resources, the programme underscores a progressive approach to agricultural development. The collaboration between research institutions and governmental departments demonstrates a holistic strategy for supporting local agricultural communities.


The event reflects Sikkim's ongoing commitment to agricultural innovation, positioning orchid cultivation as a sophisticated and potentially transformative agricultural practice. Farmers left the camp not just with planting materials, but with enhanced knowledge that could significantly impact their agricultural practices and economic prospects.


As the orchid training camp concluded, it was evident that such targeted interventions can play a crucial role in diversifying agricultural landscapes and empowering farming communities with advanced, sustainable cultivation techniques.
