Govt aims to cover 25pc of kharif paddy area with climate-resilient seeds

The government aims to bring 25% of the kharif paddy area under climate-resilient seeds to combat climate change's impact. Currently, paddy is cultivated on over 410 lakh hectares. ICAR Director General Himanshu Pathak noted that while 75% of wheat uses resilient seeds, only 16% of paddy does. The goal is to increase this to 25% this season to protect rice production from erratic rainfall and climate change.
