“Agrovision is a timely initiative to provide a roadmap for shaping our agricultural destiny. This is
important today since the country is on the eve of conferring the legal right to food to all our people
through the national food security act.”
Foreword
Inclusive growth and food security has become a subject of
prime importance not only to India but for the world as a
whole. To achieve these twin objectives, focused
development of agriculture sector keeping farmers at the
core is of paramount importance particularly for a populous
country like India where it is also the largest livelihood
provider for its rural population. It is imperative that farmer
centric initiatives and policy framework need to be put in
place to equip him with latest farming techniques,
technologies and related enabling knowledge and support
structure for higher production, productivity and better yield.
Agrovision is one such genuine initiative, which is providing
an integrative framework and a platform to bring all the stake
holders consisting of farmers, government, NGOs,
scientists, industry under single umbrella to deliberate,
debate and develop policies and programmes for action at
different levels for all around growth of agriculture.
Under the guidance of Hon’ble Mr. Nitin Gadkari, the Chief
Patron of Agrovision & National President BJP; MM Activ
Sci-Tech Communications Pvt. Ltd. and Vidarbha Economic
Development Council (VED) have been organizing
Agrovision in Nagpur. Due to its unique combination of
workshops, a full - fledged exhibition covering almost all
segments related to agriculture and thought provoking, action
oriented deliberations on topical issues related to bio energy,
Agrovision has now become one of the biggest agro event in
Central India. Farmers not only from Vidarbha, Maharashtra &
adjoining states like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra
Pradesh but also from far away states like UP, Punjab,
Haryana etc. visit Agrovision & benefit from interactive
workshops.
Agricultural sector in general and farmers in particular are
facing lot of challenges. I am sure that the Agrovision will keep
on enhancing its role in coming years to Educate, Encourage
and Empower farmers to overcome these challenges. The
upcoming editions of Agrovision each year will prove to be
helpful for the overall growth of the agro-sector and improve
the individual financial status of farmers.
The Agrovision 2013 would be held from 24th to 27th
January, 2013 in Nagpur, the city which has proved to be an
ideal venue for an agro event in Central India.
