Bhagalpur, December 21 (IANS). LJP MLA raised the issue with the Bihar government on shaved rice and Tasar silk. He said that shaved rice is a natural unique thing. In the pursuit of profit, its production decreased. LJP MLA Mithun Yadav, while talking to IANS, said that the shaved rice grown in Jagdishpur is very aromatic. It is a unique thing given by God. He said that its production has decreased in his area. We want to make farmers aware. Will try to promote it through agriculture schools, agriculture department, agriculture ministry and government. Will remove the shortage of fields. He said that we will try our best to increase the production of this rice so that the flavor of shaved rice also reaches other states. He said that people are not able to pay attention to this crop, the yield has gone down. People cultivate other fields and grow less parboiled rice in pursuit of profit. Along with increasing its production, we will motivate people to earn profit from it. Regarding Tasar Silk, he said that his district is known as Silk City. He will not talk about what the former MLA did, but these issues will be worked on closely. She is our identity and we will try our best to preserve our identity. LJP MLA Mithun Yadav said that we want to work in such a way that the coming generation sees the Silk City with dignity and it becomes a distinct identity. We will work to promote these industries. Let us tell you that Katarni rice is a unique, tasty, aromatic and small grain rice grown in Bihar. The shaved rice grown locally in Bhagalpur and Banka districts is in demand all over the country including Bihar. People like this rice a lot because of its natural flavor. –IANS AMT/DKP Share this story Tags
