 "Government’s new initiative for unemployed youth, earn at home! Know the way")
Botad: Nowadays unemployed youths are running here and there to get jobs. Village youth often have to migrate to cities in search of employment. The youth of rural areas have limited employment opportunities, due to which they have to move towards cities. To solve this problem, the government organizes recruitment fairs from time to time, so that the youth can get employment opportunities. But now the agriculture department has implemented a new scheme, under which the youth of the villages will get an opportunity to get employment at home.
Agritech project will provide employment
New employment opportunities have been proposed in Botad district under AgriTech – Digital Crop Survey Project. Under this project, farmers across the district can conduct a digital survey of their crops. Like Groundnut, Cotton, Soybean, Divela, Moong, Urad, Tuar, Sesame, Chilli, Vegetables, Fodder Crops and Horticulture Crops, which will now be surveyed through Digital Crop Survey Application. This application will help farmers get accurate information about their crops, which will enable them to make better agricultural decisions.
Employment will also be available in Hari season
Now digital survey of crops such as wheat, gram, cumin, coriander, onion, garlic, vegetables, fodder crops and horticulture crops sown by farmers during the 2024-25 rubber season will also be conducted.
