He gathered on-ground feedback on the implementation of state welfare schemes and listened to concerns raised by residents. He also interacted with children, inquired about their studies, and distributed chocolates among them. Later, he sat with villagers over tea for informal discussions on village development, agriculture, education, and everyday issues.
Focus on Agriculture and Water Conservation
In discussions with farmers, Sharma spoke in detail about local agricultural produce, including roses, Amla (Indian gooseberry), Leswa (Gunda), Jamun (black plum), and onions, as well as traditional farming practices. He encouraged farmers to adopt scientific and innovation-driven agricultural methods, emphasising that advanced techniques and water conservation efforts can significantly improve both production and income. He stated that the state government is working with sensitivity, commitment, and accountability for the holistic development of farmers and rural communities.
