A CADD delegation from Jammu travelled to Himachal Pradesh to observe contemporary irrigation methods being implemented in the state.
A team from the Centre for Agricultural Development and Dissemination (CADD) based in Jammu arrived in Himachal Pradesh to examine the state's latest irrigation practices. The delegation aims to understand the techniques that have been introduced to improve water use efficiency and crop yields in the hilly terrain.
During the visit, CADD officials will tour farms and irrigation projects that showcase drip, sprinkler and other advanced systems. They intend to document the operational details and assess how these methods could be adapted for similar agro‑ecological zones in Jammu and surrounding regions.
The exchange is expected to facilitate knowledge sharing between the two states, potentially guiding future water‑management policies and farmer training programmes. Representatives from Himachal's agricultural department are cooperating with the team to provide on‑site insights.
The visit underscores a growing focus on sustainable agriculture across northern India, where water scarcity and climate variability demand innovative irrigation solutions.
