Agriculture is one of the predominant sectors of Pakistans economy. It not only provides us food for our growing population but is also a source of raw materials for our principal industries as well as foreign exchange for our government. But nowadays, communication gap between farmers and agriculture officers is a major and emerging issue in our agriculture sector.
Main issue in this sector is that our agriculture graduates complete their graduation and they still dont know about the major terms and methods that is very obligatory for Pakistans agriculture sector because they read these terminologies in English not in local or our national language. So due to the communication gap, our graduates cant convey their revolutionary knowledge in actual way to the farmers. Furthermore, whenever they go to the field and want to instruct about modern scientific techniques like intensive Tillage, Monoculture etc. then farmers dont bother their instructions and want to prefer on their traditional ways.
The farmers of our country are mostly uneducated and lack technical knowledge .They are unable to understand the modern scientific methods of agriculture and often remain ignorant of good means to protect and increase their yield. Their production is, therefore, low. Ancient communication methods like FM Radio still is in running but there is no benefits because now people use modern communication technologies.
Currently, smart phone is common in our lives. We should have to make such application about modern scientific techniques that can be very helpful in Pakistans agriculture sector. There must be one subject for agriculture graduation in our local or national language in which all English terminologies will be illuminated. Before going to the field, training of new graduates is also important as only then they will know how they can convey their modern scientific knowledge to the farmers.
Finally, we must have to improve communication methods and it is recommended to provide proper and required training facilities to the agriculture officers from time to time so that they could manage with any emerging challenges in future.
