Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, addressed the attendees and suggested, “Farmers, especially in citrus-growing regions are facing significant challenges. I urge the scientific community to introduce new technologies to boost productivity. The potential of drones, particularly in pesticide spraying, is transformative.

I would also like to congratulate organisers for hosting such an impactful conference that brings us closer to the solutions we desperately need.”

It is an honour to receive this prestigious award, reflecting our unwavering dedication to the growth and prosperity of Indian agriculture. This recognition inspires us to continue driving sustainable and innovative solutions that empower our farmers. We also want to highlight the challenges of unfair pricing for farmers’ produce and the worrying prevalence of spurious pesticides in the market, which endanger both crops and farmers. We are guided by our motto, ‘India ka Pranam Har Kisan ke Naam,’ we remain true to our values of serving every farmer and contributing to a greener, more prosperous future for India.”

At the event, Dr. Himanshu Pathak, DG of ICAR, was honoured with the prestigious Dr. S.P.
