It would be the effort of the government that agriculture receives the maximum focus and attention of policy makers during the 11th plan period to ensure that it grows at the minimum rate of 4 percent and all our farmers become an integral part with food processing industries and also have stakes in it, said Mr. Rajasekharan.
Mr. K L Chugh, Chairman, ASSOCHAM Knowledge Millennium Council recommended to the government that agriculture should be brought in the category of essential industries so that it gets minimum 10 years income-tax benefit as also other tax incentives.
The recommendations of ASSOCHAM has been submitted to the Planning Commission, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Finance, Industry & Commerce here on Friday.
