Patna: Five Bihars farmers were on Tuesday congratulated by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for setting a world record in paddy harvest.

The farmers had produced between 224 and 196 quintal paddy per hectare this season to beat the previous record of 190 quintal paddy harvested in China.

"All of you have made us proud by breaking the previous world record of paddy harvest by China," Kumar said.

He also lauded the farmers for using Vermi compost, a natural fertilizer, for this record production.

Kumar met the farmers, Sugant Kumar, Sri Krishna Kumar, Nitish Kumar, Vijay Kumar and Sanjay Kumar, at Gosai Math helipad prior to his departure to Arwal district on the fourth-leg of the seva yatra and congratulated them for surpassing the previous record of China.

The Chief Minister directed the Nalanda district magistrate to send a report to the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) and said that the state government will also felicitate these farmers.

The Chief Minister asked the farmers to carry on their good work and set a new world record.
