The governor said agriculture production is declining although fertility of land and irrigation facilities in the state are adequate. “It is not the state government which is alone responsible for development, participation of people is also necessary”, the governor said. Earlier on Monday, addressing the 12th convocation of the MJP Rohilkhand University, Naik said, “degree is not just a piece of paper…the benefit of education that has been received, must also reach the people”. Besides distributing degrees to 595 students of the University, the governor also inaugurated a laboratory and stressed that research work done in India should reach the world. Efforts are on to regularise session and create proper atmosphere for higher education in the state, he said.
