Take up bio-diesel plantation, ryots told

Staff Reporter

ADILABAD: Adilabad Collector R. Subba Rao on Sunday told farmers to take up bio-diesel plantation under the coming AP Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (REGS). He said fuel oil from the trees of Pongamia and Jatropha was the only answer to the country's growing dependence on other nations.

Disbursing assets at a loan mela organised by Adilabad District Cooperative Central Bank (DCCB), the Collector said the import of fuel oils caused depletion of precious foreign exchange.

Mr. Subba Rao also asked the farmers to attend the ensuing Rythu Chaitanya Yatras and Sadassus in the district. He said scientists and experts would tell them about cropping patterns and technologies to be used at these programmes.
