Nuka Sanyasi Rao, director of NGO Action for Rural Technology and Services (ARTS), said agriculture could be profitable when new technologies are adopted under the guidance of agricultural scientists, agriculture officials and the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).

Several students from nearby schools participated in the event and watched agricultural activities in the fields. Mr. Sanyasi Rao said that through intercropping systems and other fast harvesting techniques, farmers will be able to earn more income.
