During his inaugural address, Vijayan stressed the need to prevent the shrinking of agriculture land.
He also urged the public not to waste cultivable land by using it for other purposes. The state government is doing the best to increase agriculture productivity, he added.
The total productivity of paddy in the state is only 15 per cent of the total demand, the chief minister said, adding that the government had already mooted various projects to improve the situation.
The chief minister also urged the public to protect and conserve water. The state is facing severe water shortage and every drop of water should be saved to face the situation, he added. Minister for Excise and Labour T P Ramakrishnan presided over the inaugural function.
