\nHe urged farmers in the state to work dedicatedly to fulfil the requirement of five crore population of North East region. <\/span>
\n“Instead of importing egg, meat, milk and milk products etc from outside the state, efforts must be made by all stakeholders to make Assam an exporting state of these products by increasing its production”, he asserted. <\/span>
\nUnion Minister of Animal Husbandry, Dairy and Fisheries Giriraj Singh said there was a lot of scope for developing NE region as an export hub of poultry, livestock meats, eggs etc through adoption of latest technology. <\/span>
\nHe also informed that his Ministry would provide adequate funds to the state government for training more than four thousand youths of the state on artificial insemination of animals. <\/span>
