Intending to boost domestic Bt cotton production, the Rajasthan government is planning to adopt several measures like distributing free certified seeds to the farmers in the tribal region in the southern part of the State, including Udaipur, and also to provide training to them. The State government intends to encourage the farmers as well as tribals, particularly in Udaipur and surrounding regions like Kotda, Malvi, Jhadol, Kherwada, Vallabhnagar and Salumber to undertake cultivation of Bt cotton in order to check migration of child labour from Rajasthan.
