Manipur was selected for the prestigious award as the best-performing State in Overall Food-grain Production Category-III (production less than 1 million tone) for the year 2017-18.

The award carried a trophy, a citation and an amount of Rs five crore.

Two farmers of the state -Yenkhom Bishworjit Singh and Thingbaijam Johnny Chanu – also received the Krishi Karman Award for Progressive Farmers for highest production in rice and pulses during 2017-18, respectively.

Moreover, Tripura was also honoured with the Krishi Karman Award as it was also selected as the best performing state in Overall Food-grain Production Category-III.

Tripura’s Krishi Karman award was received by state agriculture minister Pranajit Singha Roy from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Karnataka on Thursday.
