The seminar was organised by the Punjab Young Farmers' Association to deliberate on the issue of farming in the state and immediate solutions to the problems being faced by the agriculture sector.

Experts also recommended that shifting of some days or hours from agriculture to industry and other sectors of the economy will lead to a rise in the per capita income and returns for the rural farming families.

The seminar urged the state government to involve non-gazetted officers and strengthen them for rendering services to the growers by providing new seeds, technology and commercial credit to them.

Some experts commented that there were many helpful NGOs, both in the country and abroad, but the bureaucrats and farm departments here do not allow them to work.

The experts in the seminar also appealed to the Chief Minister to intervene in the matter and to let the Non-Governmental Organnisations concentrate on the problems faced by the farmer community.

The seminar organised by the Punjab Young Farmers' Association also lamented that the role of farmers' organisations had not received due attention and that formulation and execution of agricultural policies was mainly responsible for the woes of farmers in the state.
