In a significant stride towards modernizing the agricultural sector in the Udhampur district, wheat farmers in the remote Kambal Danga Panchayat are reaping the benefits of tractor threshers. Thanks to the implementation of advanced technology, the introduction of these modern machines has significantly transformed the wheat threshing process, saving time, and energy, and increasing overall efficiency for the farmers.
