While addressing a convocation ceremony at Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry in Himachal Pradesh, the President said that several enthusiastic youths have opted for their own ventures in agri sector after attaining education and have started organic farming of fruits, vegetables and flowers and have become exporters of these produce.

“With their knowledge and enterprise, graduates of the University could help consumers in the country and abroad get better food products and help farmers get better value for their produce,” he said.
