He said that agricultural research would benefit the farmers in preparing their crops for the future. Important suggestions will emerge in the conclave for better production, management and marketing of millets. Gehlot said that budget provision has been made to provide 2,000 units of free electricity per month to the farmers. About 12 lakh farmers will be benefited by this.
