Agriculture contributes 15 to 20 per cent to India’s economic output.
It supports nearly 60 per cent of India’s workforce and sustains millions of livelihoods.
These points were shared during the ‘Dialogue NEXT’ event held in New Delhi.
The event was organised by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
The event was organised in collaboration with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) and the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA).
The event was held under the theme “Take it to the Farmer” to promote practical agricultural solutions.
