Current Affairs - State - Discussion

The ‘Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’ was launched from Sakhigopal in the Puri district of Odisha by the Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between agricultural research and practical farming through active collaboration between scientists and farmers. Experts from institutions like the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Krishi Vigyan Kendras will participate to ensure that innovations reach the grassroots. By starting the campaign in Odisha, the government highlights the state's role in pioneering efforts to promote sustainable and informed agricultural practices.
