There is now a felt need for forward thinking collectively by all stakeholders for agricultural development in Western India by 2030 and plan for a strategy to consider new capacities that will be needed in agricultural and food systems research, innovation, extension, education and management so that agricultural universities and related institutions in the region can plan for agricultural development accordingly.
In order to take it forward, A National Workshop “Forward Thinking Agricultural Development in Western India” is being held on 8-10 February 2016 at Sardarkrushinagar and hosted by Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University (SDAU).
