Kanpur to Host UP's First Seed Hub: High-Quality Oilseed Seeds for Farmers

• Kanpur's Chandrashekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology (CSA) gets central government approval for UP's first seed hub.
• The project will initially receive 1.25 crore rupees, focusing on high-quality oilseed seeds like flaxseed, sesame, sunflower, mustard, and groundnut.
• The seed hub aims to improve production, storage, and distribution of oilseed seeds, directly benefiting farmers with certified seeds.
• Located at the NDF Farm in Kalyanpur, the modern facility is expected to be completed within a year.
• This initiative will boost oilseed production, reduce edible oil import dependence, and increase farmer income across Uttar Pradesh.
