December is most likely the date for Krishi Kumbh 2.0
The Uttar Pradesh Government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is preparing to make Krishi Kumbh 2.0, which is anticipated to take place in the second week of December this year, a worldwide event after receiving praise from all corners of the nation for organizing Krishi Kumbh in 2018.
At a high-level meeting held here on Saturday to review Krishi Kumbh 2.0 preparations, Chief Minister Yogi stated that every district in the state as well as every state in the union should take part in Uttar Pradesh Krishi Kumbh 2.0, showcasing the best agricultural practices currently being used.
“This will allow our farmers to prosper from a technical standpoint,” he said. Information on technology and innovation being used in the global agricultural industry, from seed to market, will be presented at this event.
The Chief Minister said that the second edition of Krishi Kumbh is expected to draw more than two lakh farmers, ten partner nations, and more than 500 national and international corporations and organizations.
All agricultural colleges, agricultural scientific centers, reputable national and international companies/institutions of agriculture and allied sectors, as well as progressive farmers, should be asked to participate, he added.
In response to a question on the conference’s international scope, the chief minister said that several agricultural innovations are being carried out in nations including Japan, Israel, Croatia, Poland, Peru, Germany, USA, Philippines, South Korea, and Indonesia.
He said that attempts should be made to get in touch with Indian embassies and high commissioners in the relevant countries and invite them to participate in Krishi Kumbh as partner nations, along the lines of the Global Investors Summit.
It is important to note that the conference’s main event will take place at the Indian Sugarcane Research Institute in Lucknow, with a curtain-raiser event taking place in New Delhi prior to that.
The Chief Minister went into detail about the various aspects of Krishi Kumbh, saying that discussions should be held on cow-based natural farming, readiness to face climate change challenges, promotion of food grain, FPO-based business, lowering the cost of farming, along with stubble management, and efforts to increase the contribution of the agriculture sector to make the state a $1 trillion economy.
Agroforestry, floriculture, agricultural entrepreneurship, agricultural diversification, agri startup, digital agriculture, etc. are just a few of the topics that will be covered in seminars with expert participation that will be organized by various departments and organizations in accordance with the Chief Minister’s directives. Other topics include integrated farming, drone use, horticulture achievements, cattle protection, silk industry advancements, agroforestry, and floriculture.
In order to promote the specialities of scrumptious and nourishing millets including Jowar, Bajra, Madua, Sawa, Kodo, Kakun, Kutki, Chena, Kuttu, and Ramdana, a state-level workshop will be held in October. In accordance with Yogi Adityanath’s directives, the Uttar Pradesh Shri Anna (Millets) Revitalization Programme workshop will include demonstrations of a variety of millets-based foods.
