32. Conclusion
•Chatra, Jharkhand has huge potential to grow in Agriculture
•Due to lack of Information , Farmer didn’t get benefitted by government Schemes
•In my area there is no any cold storage facilities, So there is chance for agriprenuerto develop the cold
storage on government subsidy of upto50% and get benefitted
•Agriculture department should run aawareness program in rural area as well as in urban area weekly basis
so that can get the information about the schemes and technologies
•In my district most of farmer do traditional farming and very less farmer have a soil health card and Kisan
credit card.
•Chatra , Jharkhand climate is suited for various crop due to lack of proper knowledge and guidance the
yield of crop become low and alsoresult in crop failure
•Chatra Farmers need technology and knowledge to boost their production and alsodue to improper mode
of transportation the demand of rural produce is not too good
•Chatra market demand is not too good . Because of low number employed people in chatra .
•Government should create a marketing strategy for backward district like Chatra .
