Productivity and farmer income focus

The conference is scheduled to examine farm productivity, sustainability, farmers’ incomes and opportunities in international markets. Its stated theme is “Smart Kisan, Viksit Bharat,” which translates as “Smart Farmer, Developed India.”

The program is planned to include panel discussions and presentations by agricultural researchers, farmers, women entrepreneurs and agricultural economists. Some sessions are also expected to feature Padma Shri awardees Rahibai Soma Popere, Trinita Syiem, Nekram Sharma, Sultan Singh and Sundaram Verma, who have been recognized for contributions to agriculture and rural development.
