  cereals are made available from State owned seed
  farms. The remaining quantity is obtained from
  the certified seed agencies particularly NSC and
  SFCI
• Local Rajmash popularly known as KHOLAR is
  grown chemical free on commercial scale and the
  seed requirement is made locally as truthfully
  labeled seed.
• (iv)Revamp of extension system grass root level
• SAMETI already established

  the agricultural produce
• Forests ensure water supply for the wet paddy
  cultivation, improving upon the soil fertility
• Alder based jhum cultivation has advantages over
  the traditional method where the nitrogen fixing
  tree species add to the soil fertility improving
  the productivity
