He said that farmers in distress, resorting to protests is not good for the overall well-being of the country.

“There is a need for introspection because farmers are in distress and suffering. If such institutes (like ICAR and its affiliates) were alive, and making contributions then this wouldn't be the situation...Such institutions are located in every nook and corner of the country, but the conditions of farmers are still the same,” said Dhankhar.

The Vice President was speaking at the centenary celebrations of the Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology (CIRCOT). Based in Mumbai, CIRCOT is one of the leading institutes of the ICAR under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India.
