Banana Life-Time Achievement Award
 Sponsor :  Jain Irrigation - Convenor : Jain Charities

 

Background Outline :
The Banana export market potential is increasing year after year. Indian climate is suitable for banana cultivation. However, only select varieties are to be cultivated for export purposes. Being ignorant, the hardworking Indian farmer is deprived of this opportunity.
There is ample scope for development of Banana; though the task is not simple or easy. Right from development of suitable variety through cultivation practices, fertilizer / nutrient effectiveness to disease control, the field is wide and challenging.
It is imperative that a farmer is able to see for himself a role model, gets the requisite guidance, help & training, can get useful information about Banana through articles, booklets, handouts and becomes aware of the overall picture. This award is for a herald who has devoted himself for such comprehensive work.
