What does the Deputy Commissioner do to foster innovation in agriculture?

The role of the Deputy Commissioner in fostering innovation in agriculture significantly involves supporting research initiatives and encouraging the adoption of new technologies. By backing research, the Deputy Commissioner helps identify and develop advancements that can enhance crop yield, improve sustainability, and address challenges faced by farmers. This support can take many forms, including funding for research projects, collaboration with agricultural institutions, and facilitating partnerships between researchers and farmers.
