00:00Sir, we have received information that in our center of excellence, a potato crop has been researched.
00:08In this, a crop that is ready in 60 days has come in front of you.
00:12The scientists of the Central Potato Research Institute have also praised it.
00:16What is the whole matter, please tell us in detail.
00:18Yes, yes, absolutely. Exactly, this is very true.
00:21On the last 4th, in the Department of Vegetable Science,
00:27under the Akhil Bhartiya Alu Samanidh Swachh Pariyusana,
00:32plant breeding, crop production and crop protection,
00:40approximately 30 tests have been conducted with great beauty.
00:50And this program, as we know,
00:54the Akhil Bhartiya Alu Samanidh programs,
00:58it is acquired in all states of the country.
01:05And for its monitoring,
01:10our CPR, Central Potato Research Institute,
01:16which is responsible for the monitoring, program formulating and acquisition of potato research in the whole country.
01:27A monitoring team is formed by them.
01:32And the purpose of this team is that,
01:36by conducting tests at different centers,
01:41what are the qualities that are being tested there,
01:45what are the qualities that are being tested there,
01:47what is the quality that is being tested there,
01:49that is, the care of all these things.
01:52And along with this, the biggest thing is that the scientists' interactions with each other.
01:57So, this monitoring, which happens, influences all these things.
02:02On the same day, on the 4th, a monitoring team was registered here.
02:07During the visit, we saw that one of our trials,
02:14in which the early species were tested.
02:18After 60 days, there was a species called P118.
02:22After 60 days, when it was excavated in front of the team,
02:27about 7-8 potato tubers had developed in it.
02:33So, this is an attempt in this direction,
02:38that if such species are developed,
02:43then we, our farmers, can get a good price by taking a good harvest of potatoes in a short time.
02:54Our research is going on in that direction.
02:57And I think that in the coming 2-3 years, this species will be available to the farmers.
03:06Sir, the research that has been done here,
03:09so now we have found this species,
03:11so its seeds, especially the farmer first finds the seeds,
03:14how will the seeds reach the farmers?
03:17What is the process and how can they take it?
03:22You are absolutely right.
03:24See, the problem of seeds in potatoes,
03:27as it is in all crops,
03:29there is a special importance of quality seeds in potatoes,
03:33and there is also a constant.
03:35In this, this responsibility,
03:38the main responsibility of the institution that develops the species is,
03:45and potatoes are such a crop,
03:47if we see, most of the species are developed by the Central Potato Research Institute,
03:52or by other institutions.
03:56So, seeds will be provided to the farmers through them.
03:59In our Uttar Pradesh also, the Marriott, Jalandhar, Punjab,
04:03in Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior,
04:07seeds are being provided to all these places,
04:11so that in the areas of Uttar Pradesh,
04:15potatoes are grown on a large scale,
04:22and about 30% of the country's production is from Uttar Pradesh.
04:27So, we are also trying to provide quality seeds to our farmers,
04:36and we are trying in this direction.
04:38Okay, thank you very much.
