 Agriculture being the key to overall development for Bihar economy as 77% of its labor workforce is indulged in Agro and farming , further contributing for around 25% of state domestic product. So ,It  becomes very crucial and Important for the concerned department of the state government to aware and introduce its farmers and agriculturist  with the latest innovative ideas of farming and use of advanced and state of the art technology of farming equipment and machinery for higher yields with minimal labor inputs.  
Despite the Farm exhibition and efforts of agriculture dept. ,there are still many farmers and agriculturist in far flunged village who have no idea about subsidized rate of farm machines and equipment, but as a youth visiting Sonepur mela, we can contribute a lot by at least briefing about this farm exhibition to the farmers of our village. 




The last but not the least point is this exhibition is not only for farmers but also for either one who wants to learn about farming ,a lot is there to learn or one who wants to buy colorful flowers or designer plants, it's a great place.
