I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at SHOPIAN: SKUAST-Kashmir, in collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Shopian today organized a training and awareness programme here at Balapora Shopian under ICAR-AICRP on Poultry Breeding, Poultry Seed Project, DAPST (Tribal Sub-Plan), & Division of Livestock Production and Management, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry.
The programme aimed to empower tribal women through scientific poultry management practices and the distribution of poultry birds to promote sustainable livelihood opportunities.
