AMRELI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called upon farmers to launch ‘sweet revolution' and ‘blue revolution' by taking up honey bee farming and optimising use of waterways for transportation.
The prime minister, while addressing a conference of cooperatives at Amreli in Saurashtra, listed various initiatives which the farmers can take up to increase their income.
"After green and white revolution, now it is time for ‘blue revolution' and ‘sweet revolution'," Modi said.
"These two revolutions have the potential to transform the lives of people of Saurashtra," he told the conference after inaugurating the new Amreli Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) building.
Sweet revolution can be an additional source of income for farmers, he said.
The PM also urged various milk cooperative unions of the state to collect honey from farmers and sell it so the agruculturists get good returns.
On ‘blue revolution', Modi said Gujarat has the largest coastline in the country and the Saurashtra region can benefit heavily from water-based transport.
