Bidar Agriculture Minister Supports New Agricultural College Demand

Bidar: Agriculture Minister N. Chaluvaraya Swamy has responded positively to the demand for starting an agricultural degree college in Bidar from the current academic year, according to Siddramaiah Swamy, district unit president of Karnataka Pradesh Krishika Samaj.
