In order to tackle agricultural challenges in future, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be releasing ‘Vision 2050’ for agriculture, at the ICAR foundation day celebrations, at Patna in Bihar on July 25, 2015. The ‘Vision 2050’ is prepared by the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR).
Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said that Prime Minister (PM) would also inaugurate three new projects - Farmers First, Arya and Mera Gaon Mera Gaurav (My village my pride) - to stress on the 'lab to land' concept of the Centre.
PM is also expected to ask agriculture scientists from all over the country to speed up the 'lab to land' approach, intended to provide new technologies to farmers, which will lead to a quantum jump in agriculture productivity. He will also provide 'soil testing kits' to young agriculture entrepreneurs.
Earlier, Agriculture minister had launched an insurance portal for farmers that will help with queries and getting cover. He had also launched a weather alert service. An online interface for filing insurance applications and allowing the scrutiny of these by banks is proposed to be developed in the second phase. According to agriculture ministry, only about 20 percent of gross cropped area was insured in 2014-15.
