Khagaria Farmers Demand Capital, Not Promises, to Become 'Makhana Hub'

• Farmers in Khagaria, Bihar, a flood-affected district, rely on farming for their livelihood and the local economy.
• They believe Khagaria can become a 'Makhana Hub' (black diamond) with government support, transforming the district's economic prosperity.
• Farmers like Subodh Sharma and Kushwaha ji highlight the availability of natural resources (land, water) but lack financial capital for large-scale makhana cultivation.
• They demand concrete action plans, financial assistance (initial capital, subsidies), and training in scientific farming methods.
• Farmers emphasize that overcoming the capital deficiency will enable them to adopt new farming techniques and establish Khagaria as a national leader in makhana production.

Why It Matters: Khagaria farmers seek financial aid and training to leverage makhana production for economic growth and district recognition.
