Newsroom, Jun 30: Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy’s penchant for the utilisation of advanced technology in farming sector is likely to reflect in the looming Karnataka budget. 

State’s Agriculture Minister Shivashankar Reddy also reaffirmed that Israel’s advanced technology will be implemented in farming in select places, called model areas for the efficient management of water and the project will be announced in the budget.

He told media persons that people in Karnataka are already using sprinklers and drip irrigation in agriculture, which is also Israel’s contribution. Advanced technology will be used to irrigate more land using less water, thereby increasing agricultural productivity.

An area in each district will be selected to implement the technology. Sensors will be linked to the water system and they will decide and provide the required quantity of water based on the type of crops and will prevent water being wasted.

Last year, Kumaraswamy had led a JD(S) delegation to Israel to study innovative agriculture methods. According to him, implementing Israel farming practices will help farmers get a regular income and avoid the debt cycle.

Bengaluru, Jun 20: Continuing with the easing of restrictions under 'Unlock 1.0', the Karnataka government on Saturday authorised local bodies to fix timing for opening of public parks other than those in the containment zones between 5 am to 9 pm.

It has also mandated adhering to all the national directives issued to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the guidelines issued by the state government in this connection.

Noting that the government has been relaxing conditions under unlock 1.0, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad, who is also the member secretary of the state disaster management authority in an order said, local bodies have been asked to set the timing between 5 am to 9 pm to open all parks that come under them and the government.

It said this would be applicable to only those parks that come outside the containment zones. Earlier in May, while relaxing the lockdown norms, the government had set 7 am to 9 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm for the opening of parks.
