Suttur, May 30, 2025: The ‘Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’ was formally launched at Suttur by His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji, marking a major initiative to disseminate scientific agricultural knowledge and modern technologies among farmers across Mysuru District.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. B.N. Jnanesh, Head of ICAR JSS Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Suttur, shared key details of the campaign. The ICAR JSS KVK will organize 200 meetings across 135 villages in Mysuru District between May 2 and June 12. These meetings aim to bridge the gap between agricultural research and practice by taking cutting-edge laboratory innovations directly to the farmers’ fields.
“Our objective is to reach out to 22,000 farmers under this initiative,” said Dr. Jnanesh. “The program will create awareness on new seed varieties, advanced farming technologies, and sustainable agricultural practices.”
A wide array of stakeholders will actively participate in the campaign, including:
- Agricultural scientists from premier research institutes
- Officials from the departments of agriculture, horticulture, dairy farming, and fisheries
- Representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- Progressive farmers from the region
The campaign reflects a collaborative and inclusive approach to empower the farming community, boost productivity, and promote region-specific best practices for long-term agricultural development.
