Agriculture University in Tando Jam Sindh organised a day-long seminar on Irrigation Reforms: Issues and Options on Thursday evening.
The participants of the seminar have emphasised the need of managing the world's largest irrigation system network of Pakistan, modern method of irrigation management with farmers' participation to make it sustainable, transparent and cost effective.
The seminar was presided over by the Vice Chancellor Dr Abdul Qadir Mughal and addressed among others by Dr Fateh Muhammad Mari, Zahid Bhurgari, Major Umer Farooq (retd), Dr Bakhshal Lashari, Nazeer Essani and Dr Muhammad Saffar Mirjat.
The speakers also underlined the need of strengthening and expansion of the irrigation system in Sindh so that it could meet the requirements of food security, employment and economic growth. In his remarks, Dr A.Q. Mughal said water is crucial, which is used by every living thing on the earth and resulting in the conflicting demands of water across regions and farmers as well as across irrigation, households and industrial sectors.
He said that we need to continuously revise the curriculum to produce better graduates to serve the community. Dr Yelli Dedja from Food Agriculture Organisation shared success of irrigation reforms from various countries of the world including Vietnam, Laos, India, Romania, Albania, Australia, USA and France.
