Haryana Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Minister Sh. Shyam Singh Rana today announced the promotion of indigenous fairs in the state. In these fairs, the Agriculture Department will provide farmers with information on organic farming and new technologies. Along with this, all departments will be involved to encourage indigenous products, which will play an important role in strengthening the country’s economy.
Speaking to the media, he said that from September 17 to October 2, 2025, a Sewa Pakwada (Service Fortnight) will be observed under the leadership of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini. During this period, all MLAs and ministers will meet farmers to discuss preparations for Rabi crops and address their issues.
Sh. Rana assured the farmers that the Haryana Government stands firmly with them and is committed to resolving all their problems. He said that the government is fully dedicated to farmers’ welfare, and under the leadership of Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, all steps are being taken to provide relief to farmers affected by waterlogging caused by rains.
He urged farmers to upload details of their crop losses on the Haryana Kshatipurti Portal by September 15, 2025, so that compensation can be provided quickly after verification.
While responding to media queries, he informed that the Chief Minister has directed all concerned Deputy Commissioners to provide every possible help to farmers in flood-affected areas. He said the Haryana Government always stands with farmers and is constantly working to resolve their problems. DCs have been instructed to ensure that crop loss assessments are carried out and the information uploaded on the portal, so that timely compensation can be given to farmers.
Speaking about his recent visit to France and The Netherlands, Sh. Rana said that during this trip he learned about new technologies and markets related to agricultural products, especially potato and flower farming. The potato conference in the Netherlands provided insights into how potato production and exports take place in Europe. Inspired by Europe’s strong floriculture sector, Haryana also plans to promote flower farming in the state.
The Agriculture Minister said the visit was highly successful and that the state’s Agriculture Department will take necessary steps to encourage farmers to adopt the latest technologies used in global horticulture and floriculture markets.
He further informed that the state government is establishing the country’s largest horticulture market at Ganaur town in Sonipat district. So far, 54 acres of land have been acquired. The total estimated cost of the project is ₹2,595 crore, and nearly 45% of the construction work has been completed. This international market will have the capacity to handle 20 lakh tonnes of produce annually. It will also provide parking for 14,907 cars and 3,305 trucks and trolleys.
The Agriculture Minister said the experiences gained from foreign visits will be used to strengthen Haryana’s markets. He added, “Our state already has some of the largest markets in Asia. By expanding them, we will attract more traders, making it easier for farmers to sell their crops.” In particular, a large flower market and an organic produce market are being established in Gurugram, which will provide farmers with better opportunities to sell their products.
