Shamim Ashraf, District Seed Certification Officer, Agronomist Golam Sarwar, Monitoring Officer of the Oil National Crop Production Project, Agronomist Saiful Islam, Panchagarh Department of Agriculture Extension, Additional Deputy Director (Grains and Seeds). 70 farmers from the area participated in the field day and technical discussion meeting
