Langpangkong Students’ Conference (LKM) has resolved to make smart farming a major focus to encourage and attract students and youth into the food production sector with the aim of attaining economic independence and enabling the new generation to bring positive changes in society.
The resolution, adopted during its general conference held at Mongsenyimti village on January 8 and 9 under the theme “Rekindling Legacy”, sought guidance and support from Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) and Agri & Allied departments of the Government of Nagaland to help youth and students become smart farmers and agripreneurs.
