A school of agriculture is welcome in Region Two

BY Staff

Dear Editor,

Through agricultural, industrial and technical development the pragmatic objectives must continue to be to feed ourselves. This objective must form the core from which all other benefits which constitute the good life should spring. The pursuit of this objective can provide us all with abundant opportunities for productive employment.

Essequibians welcome the government move to bring the Guyana School of Agriculture to Region Two. This will meet the long felt need of a national agricultural training institution in this region as well as in Region Three. Over the past years the demand for persons trained in agriculture has been most significant under the PPP/C government. Hence, Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud and  Regional Chairman Ali Baksh decided to promote and support agricultural development through the education and training of young men and women in agricultural careers.

The aim is to train persons in the theory and practice of agriculture and to manage, develop and operate farms and undertakings of an agricultural nature in accordance with good farming practice. This school in collaboration with the Guyana Forestry Commission will also conduct courses in forestry management, so as to promote optimum production and the utilisation of the resources in the region.

This region has the people, the resources and the will in President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Khan

    ……some badi help me ! caz ah jus kyan get it,,,, here’s my ? is the govt ,, serious abt ,, agriculture as part of the economic development plan ? ,, if because of a global crisis of food shortages ,, and we have the land available for mass farming of all sorts ,, why then is there not an agri schol in in the most populous regions ,, with subsidies in place for those who are in less populated areas,, to come to the closest shool and be accomodated until they graduate to become part of the agri drive to their communities when they return !,,

    tunnel vision ,, is a natural impediment in more ways than one !………
