According to the suggestions of scientists that suggested by them to BAPCL, there are very good opportunities among farmers those are associated with BAPCL for quality seed production for paddy. The government needs to be focused on that area of quality seed production in the state Tripura because the government collects seeds from outside the state to distribute seeds for paddy among farmers. The government seeds are not qualitatively homogeneous in maximum cases; the government of the state Tripura might collect paddy seeds from BAPCL. The quality of seeds as well as easy excess facilities in terms of transportation might get from BAPCL.
The farmers are basically depending on quality seeds but they have received it very late in maximum cases in the state Tripura. The farmers are needed to be considered to start their farming activities with time owing to being late for seed collection from government departments.
