Seminar on Progressive farming & farmer the foundation of development.










Shri Venkateshwara University/VGI Meerut in collaboration with Bhartiya Kisan Union (Meerut Division) organized a 1 day seminar on Progressive farming & farmer the foundation of development.

In the seminar leading agriculture scientists, environmentalists, researchers & educationists discussed ways to augment farmer’s income & commended their role in the nation’s development.

They compared the farmer to God & discussed ways for his upliftment.

Dr Sudhir Giri Chairman Venkateshwara Group, DM Balkrishan Tripathi Chief Guest Padamshree Mr Bharat Bhushan Tyagi, Chief Speaker Dinesh Kulkarni & the Pro-chancellor Dr Rajiv Tyagi inaugurated the seminar by lighting a lamp to Goddess Saraswati.

CDO Chandrashekhar Shukla, & the Provincial GS Dr Kuldeep Singh assisted them in the inauguration ceremony.

Dr Sudhir Giri announced that from next January for the benefit of farmers Shri Venkateshwara University will start a soil testing lab.

Mr Balkrishan Tripathi expressed that through organic manure & by adopting advanced farming techniques, we plan to double farmer’s income by 2025.

In his address, Mr Bharat Bhushan Tyagi asserted unless we eradicate the share of middlemen & the government’s crop insurance scheme, PM’s irrigation scheme & the soil testing scheme are not implemented, the upliftment of the farmer cannot happen.

While Dr Dinesh Kulkarni stated that immediately after natural calamities like drought, floods & hailstorm farmers should receive compensation.

The Government should direct banks & insurance co. to make quick payments & we should encourage farmers to abandon traditional farming & adopt progressive & organic farming techniques.

If we do this, India can become a world leader.

Dr Rajiv Tyagi, Mr Chandrashekhar Shukla, Dr Kuldeep Kumar & the VC Dr Rakesh Yadav also addressed the seminar.

Later, we honored 250 progressive farmers by gifting them a shawl & memento.

We also released a book Dharti Ka Kisan written by Dr Mahesh Whites highlighting ways to augment farmer’s income.

The chief attraction was an exhibition showcasing organic manure, seeds & products that was conceptualized by the UP agriculture department.

Those present included the Program coordinator Dr Rajesh Singh, & Dr C. P. Kushwaha, Dr Anil Jaiswal, Dr S N Sahoo, Dr Varsha Yadav, Dr Lakshmi Kant, Dr Mata Prasad, & Dr Ram Kumar.
