| Sham bags Agri Leadership award-2011 for outstanding performance | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
NEW DELHI, Sep 15: Minister for Health, Horticulture and Floriculture Sham Lal Sharma on Wednesday added one more feather in his cap when he received Agriculture Leadership Award-2011 here.
He got the award for outstanding performance in the horticulture sector in Jammu and Kashmir from the Union Minister for Law, and Minorities Affairs Salman Khursheed in presence of Union MoS for Agriculture Harish Rawat and veteran leader Balram Jakhar at an impressive function held in the national capital.
The Jammu and Kashmir has been selected for this prestigious award by a high-level committee headed by Member Parliament, Prof Swaminathan. It is notable that last year the state was awarded for the best primary health services.
Speaking on the occasion, Sham Lal said that though J&K has been producing fruits at commercial scale since long but in the recent past the state has been able to add new dimensions to the horticulture sector.
“One of the major contributing factors for such changes has been due to effective implementation of some centrally sponsored schemes like Horticulture Mission and RKVY and by taking corrective measures in the overall functioning of the department. “A strong political will of our government to boost horticulture sector has also played a catalytic role in helping us to march towards better horticulture achievements,” said the minister.
A galaxy of audience including bureaucrats, intellectuals, political leaders were present on the occasion.
