The astute lawyer mentioned one avenue that can be exploited by the youth. He emphasized the significance of Agriculture and irrigation, saying that young people with youthful exuberance should not despise farming but rather embrace it and make a living from it.
“Farming can be a hobby for you”, he said passionately to the youth present.
He cited Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, who left School to pursue his dream of creating software out of a simple hobby, in an effort to inspire and encourage young people to pursue farming.
