Horticulture Dept. to popularise Israeli technology 

By Our Correspondent 



KOLAR, JAN. 30. The Horticulture Department has
decided to popularise Israeli technology among farmers
to enhance the yield. Demonstrations have been planned
in nine backward taluks of the State. Under the
programme, demonstrations on drip irrigation,
rainwater harvesting etc., will be conducted in 200
acres of land in each taluk, and if found successful
it will be extended to other parts of the State. 

The department also plans to set up a mini biotech
centre in Belgaum at an estimated cost of Rs. 2.5
crores, and the Government has already sanctioned Rs.
50 lakhs, the sources said. 

HOPCOMS centres are likely to be set up in all taluks
and Safal marketing centres established at important
places in the State to help farmers sell their
produce. 

The department plans to set up small farmers service
centres as in Maharashtra and Kerala and a proposal
has been sent to the National Horticulture Mission
seeking Rs. 200 crores for the project. 

R. Srinivas, Horticulture Minister, told The Hindu
that he had sought funds from the Union Food Ministry
for research and development programmes. 

The Minister said he had also sought the Union
Government's assistance for setting up more cold
storages. 

Vacant posts 


More than 1,200 of the sanctioned 4,950 posts in the
<129>Horticulture Department are vacant. 

According to the sources only 118 of the 261 Group A
officers' posts have been filled and only 481 of the
635 posts in Group B have been filled. 

Besides, over 770 Group C and Group D posts are
vacant. 

One hundred and thirty two posts of senior Assistant
Horticulture Director are vacant which has affected
research and development programmes, the sources said.
