The Uttar Pradesh government is leading an agricultural revolution, urging farmers to adopt modern greenhouse and polyhouse techniques aiming for year-round income enhancement through all-season farming methods.

According to a statement released on Wednesday, farmers across 44 districts are implementing these technologies to cultivate vegetables and grains even in the off-season. Currently, 24 districts boast operational facilities, while construction progresses in the remaining 20.

This governmental push is part of the broader Agriculture Infrastructure Fund Scheme, supported by the Integrated Horticulture Development Mission.
