The Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) has established a 'Rice Garden' in Dinajpur for the 2025–26 Boro season under the initiative of its regional office. The garden, located in the Kaugā area of Sadar upazila, aims to increase rice production, expand modern varieties, and provide farmers with hands-on exposure to new technologies.
The 'Rice Garden' serves as an open learning field where farmers can directly observe different rice varieties, their growth stages, disease resistance, yield, and quality characteristics. This comparative observation helps them identify varieties suitable for local conditions and encourages interest in modern rice cultivation. According to BRRI officials, the initiative enables farmers to make informed decisions for future planting seasons.
The Dinajpur regional office also plans to establish similar gardens for the upcoming Aus and Aman seasons. The current garden, located in the institute’s technology village, remains open to interested farmers, researchers, and related stakeholders.
