CII-Yi-Aries Agro farmers network launched

The CII-Young Indians-Aries Agro Limited National Farmers Network was launched at a conference on 'Specialised Agri Technology: Growing Farmer Wealth' organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry here on Friday.

The network will begin by engaging 10,000 progressive young farmers across the nation within a period of three years in a wide range of knowledge dissemination activities.

Its activities will involve study tours, soil health assessment, demonstrations and trials, seminars and conferences, advisory services, among others. Rural to urban knowledge sharing in key areas will also be a part of the network's objectives.

"There are islands of prosperity in Indian agriculture. However, we need to showcase best practices to create world-class agri productivity levels across all areas. The farmer's network will have spreading awareness as its primary objective. We will bridge productivity gulfs using knowledge as a catalyst. We will not stop until we usher in an evergreen revolution in Indian agriculture," said Rahul Mirchandani, conference chairman and executive director of Aries Agro Limited.
