Tirupati: Minister for Agriculture Kanna Lakshminarayana on Thursday opened a regional agricultural meet at Mahati Auditorium here.A Senior officials from Agriculture department and scientists from four districts of Rayalaseema region and Nellore district were present.

He advised the officials that the equal importance should be given to the land owned farmers and the tenant farmers and the banks should also give importance to farmers while sanctioning the loans. As the State government is providing cent per cent technical assistant to farmers, it is the duty for the agricultural officials to resolve the problems of farmers at the field level," Kanna Laxminarayana said.
