The Vikshit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, launched on May 29 in Tripura, has shown remarkable progress in its first week. The campaign aimed to reach 1.72 lakh farmers across the state within 12 working days and has already connected with 1.1 lakh farmers in just seven days. This includes 1,01,389 farmers, according to the Tripura Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department, and officials are confident the campaign will surpass its target well before the scheduled deadline.

The initiative has received an overwhelming response not only from farmers but also from the general public, thanks to its extensive outreach and inclusive strategy. Officials reported that 72 meetings are being conducted daily across all districts to facilitate the campaign’s objectives. According to a central government report, Tripura is executing the campaign efficiently, with active participation from local leaders, public representatives, and administrative officials.

The campaign was inaugurated by Tripura Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Ratan Lal Nath at Shalgara village in Gomati district. During the launch, he emphasized the government's deep commitment to farmers' welfare and underlined the importance of the campaign in transforming agriculture in the state. He acknowledged that Tripura has eight Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), which were underutilized in the past. Now, however, these KVKs have been revitalized and are playing a crucial role in supporting and guiding farmers.

Minister Nath stated that the KVKs are not only conducting agricultural research but are also helping farmers select the right crops and farming techniques to increase productivity. These centers are integral to educating farmers on scientific agriculture and ensuring long-term sustainable growth in the sector.

An important new initiative mentioned was the introduction of mobile soil testing vans. These vans are designed to travel across the state to help farmers analyze the health of their soil, enabling them to make better decisions about fertilizers and crop choices. This service is aimed at enhancing soil productivity and ultimately improving crop yields.

The minister reiterated the government’s vision of inclusive development, where modern scientific knowledge and technological interventions are made accessible to even small and marginal farmers. The objective is to empower farmers with the right information, tools, and support systems to reduce input costs and increase agricultural income.

Overall, the Vikshit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan has turned into a mass movement for agricultural awareness in Tripura. It is facilitating direct interaction between farmers and agricultural experts and is helping bridge the knowledge gap in rural areas. The campaign is being seen as a significant step toward agricultural transformation in the state and is expected to set a benchmark for similar initiatives across the country.
