Department Head Yashpal Singh emphasised the broader implications of such initiatives, noting their alignment with the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Singh particularly highlighted the role of MSMEs in poverty reduction through job creation and economic growth, positioning this project as part of a larger strategy for sustainable agricultural development in the region.
