Office Chief Dr. Dilraj Yadav says that due to the shortage of technical manpower in the office, it is difficult to fulfill the main objective of the office. ‘The main objective of the office is to conduct new research related to sugarcane crops,’ he said, ‘for that, research projects, innovation, and operations should be carried out.’ In addition, although research on soil health and crop diseases and pests should be carried out, the office is facing problems in carrying out its responsibilities due to the lack of technical manpower, he said. ‘We are facing problems in developing new technologies,’ he said, ‘due to the lack of manpower, our work is not yielding the results it should.’
