New Delhi: The Modi government at the Centre is coming up with a major plan for agricultural development. For the last several years, the situation of farming in the country has become very miserable due to natural scars. The increasing suicide of farmers is an example. The crisis in the agriculture sector has further aggravated the employment problem. The government is working on a scheme to address both the farming crisis and the employment problem. The government has set a target of fertilizing 50 lakh hectares of barren land in the country in the coming ten years.

This will provide direct employment to about 75 lakh people. Because one-and-a-half jobs are generated when one hectare of land is cultivable. This was disclosed by Union Minister for Forest and Environment Prakash Javadekar. The United Nations Conference on Wasteland at the Delhi State Media Centre will be held from September 2 to 9 and the united nations convention to combat desertification (CCD Cop-14) from September 2 to 13. These will be discussed at this conference. It will also take action to prevent global warming and rapidly spreading barrenness through technical use.

Representatives and scientists from 200 countries will present their inventions. The conference will also have a Delhi Declaration, says Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar. For the first time, the Centre will also reach an agreement with the United Nations Convention on the Land of Wasteland. Apart from this, important parts of the country which prevent Delhi, Punjab-Haryana from getting barren, that is, Aravali Hill will also be discussed and resolved. The Centre of Excellence will be set up at the Forest Research Institute in Dehradun.

There are four million hectares of barren land in the world, 29 percent of which are in India, which means a total of 169 million hectares of barren land in the country. The Government is continuously working to make it cultivable. Representatives from three thousand countries, including experts in the subject, will also attend the event in Greater Noida. With the growing population, the availability of land is becoming limited and it is imperative that the government make wasteland cultivable.
