Unleashing Untapped Potential of Makhana Farming
By announcing the establishment of the Makhana Board and the National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Management (NIFTEM) in Bihar, the Union Budget 2025 has made a significant contribution to the development of India's agricultural economy, especially for high-value commodities like Makhana (foxnuts).
