Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has called upon scientists to conduct research on traditional farming and disseminate information about new research to farmers so that they can prosper through farming. Calling the Kisan Kumbh at GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology a “Knowledge Kumbh,” the CM said that thanks to this, India is awakening the spirit of the Green Revolution in the world. To take rain-fed farming to new heights in the hilly regions of Uttarakhand, the Uttarakhand Climate Responsive Rain-Fed Farming Project has been approved at a cost of approximately 1,000 crore rupees. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami arrived here on Sunday, the third day of the four-day All India Krishi Kumbh and Agro-Industry Exhibition held on the university campus. He inspected the stalls and gathered information from students and researchers. In the Gandhi Auditorium, he openly discussed the Kisan Mela, as well as the Uniform Civil Code and the Anti-Copying Law in a dialogue program. The Chief Minister stated that over 200 of the 400 stalls at Krishi Kumbh have been set up by industries, startups, and self-help groups involved in the agricultural sector from various states across the country. Such events are not limited to the display of agricultural products and equipment; they are also an important medium for the exchange of knowledge, experience, and innovation between farmers, scientists, and entrepreneurs. Farmers can access the latest technology, improved seeds, modern equipment, and new research in one place. They also have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of experts. Through the modern technologies and innovations being showcased at the fair, our farmers will be able to make farming more productive, sustainable, and profitable. This will not only increase their income but also strengthen and enrich the state’s agricultural system.
