Summary
- Kisan Caravan 2.0 convened in Meerut for agricultural discussions.
- Focus areas included sugarcane, Basmati, crop protection, and tech.
- Farmers were honored and a new council was formed for grassroots issues.
The Kisan Caravan 2.0 initiative recently reached Meerut, where a Regional Kisan Mahasabha was held at a private university. Farmers and agricultural experts engaged in discussions covering crucial aspects of modern farming, including sugarcane cultivation, Basmati rice production, crop protection strategies, and the adoption of natural farming methods and advanced technologies.
Discussions specifically targeted enhancements in sugarcane payments and the development of disease-resistant Basmati varieties. Participants also explored strengthening Basmati supply chains and direct farmer-exporter connections, with a vision to potentially develop Hapur as a Basmati export hub. The event acknowledged outstanding farmers with the Krishiveer Award and introduced a new 20-member Kisan Parishad.
