Description:
The North East Regional Agriculture Fair 2012 is being organized by the Assam Agricultural University from February 10 to February 12 at the College of Veterinary Science Play Ground, Khanapara, Guwahati on the theme ‘North East Marches towards Food Security’.
North Eastern Region of India is known to have hidden potentialities to increase agricultural production by 3-4 fold through input optimization and other technological support. Inclusion of the state of Assam in 2nd generation programme is a pointer towards harnessing such potential. Although, Assam Agricultural University – the Feeder University of North East India has been taking a lead in ushering in technology led agricultural renaissance in the region, it has fortunately received a shot on its back in the form of a support from Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Govt. of India to organize North East Regional Agriculture Fair at Guwahati. The University is trying to encash this opportunity to bring in technology awareness among the farming community of the region by way of arranging a meaningful event showcasing the technologies under it’s as well as other research agencies’ possession. Development departments particularly from the state of Assam are also being roped in to benefit the farmers with the available schemes under these departments.
The main purpose of the event is to showcase the agriculture and allied science technologies as well as development of schemes operated by the state government to the farming community and other stakeholders of North East India so that they can avail these opportunities for optimizing production and productivity of crops, animals and fishes.
