Badalte Bharat Ki Nayi Krishi Pehchaan
A single grain may look small and simple, yet it carries a remarkable journey from the soil to our table.Grain emerges as a seed and grows up as a result of the assistance it receives from the soil, water, sunshine andcultivation. As the crops grow, they face numerous challenges like the weed, pests, diseases and changes in weather conditions. After…
Introduction Indian agriculture is entering a new phase in which technology is increasingly becoming a partner of the farmer. Farmers are facing multiple challenges—from uncertain rainfall and declining water availability to rising input costs, labour shortages, pest attacks and the need for timely farm operations. These challenges make it important to use resources more efficiently…
Introduction Agriculture is not only a source of food but also an important part of rural livelihoods, employment, nutrition and economic development. For generations, farmers have depended on their experience, traditional knowledge and understanding of nature to make decisions about crops and farming activities. However, agriculture is becoming increasingly complex because of changing weather conditions,…
Goat farming is attracting a new generation of entrepreneurs in india From traditional livelihood, to a kind of promising agribusiness For years, goat rearing has been tied closely to rural life in india. But now, the simple goat is showing up in a different, kind of business narrative — like entrepreneurship. Somehow it feels, like…
For generations, rural India followed a predictable script, young generations left family farms in search of white collar job stability in overcrowded cities. Agriculture was largely viewed as an unpredictable, low-margin livelihood dictated by huge loss and climate vulnerability. Today, that script is being rewritten. Armed with data analytics, IoT hardware, biotechnology, and venture funding, a new wave of educated youth is returning to…
Water is among the most crucial sources of farming operations. Without water, no seed can grow into a plant; without water, the life cycle of crops would fail. Water is directly associated with income and crop production for millions of farmers. But due to the unpredictable pattern of rainfall, decrease in the levels of groundwater,…
Indian agriculture had shown tremendous evolution since independence and converted India as exporting country from importer even after fourfold increase in population. Ever-increasing population however poses serious challenge to prolong this scenario and ways has to be thought of to provide safe and quality food to the masses. Increasing agricultural production is one aspect of fulfilling food demand. Delivering…
Abstract The modern agriculture faces twin challenge; feeding a growing population while conserving soil health, water and biodiversity. Excessive reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides has degraded soils, polluted water bodies and increased input costs for farmers. This results in residual effect, soil pollution and affect the overall soil productivity. Soil and plant-associated microbes such as diazotrophs, phosphate solubilizers, potassium mobilizers, mycorrhizal fungi,…
Climate change is creating serious challenges for the agricultural sector in many parts of the world. The agricultural sector requires conducive climatic conditions, such as temperature, rainfall, humidity and availability of water resources. Any changes in these conditions will make it difficult for the farmers to plan their farming activities. Climate change can affect the…
Plant-OpenCRISPR-1 (POC1) is the world’s first AI based genome editing platform developed by ICAR-CRRI which was led by Dr. Qutubuddin Ali Molla (other members include Priya Das, Romio Saha, Debasmita Panda, Chandana Ghosh, S P Avinash, Sonali Panda, Mirza Baig).
