Krishi Mahakumbh in Raisen, MP April 11-13

New Delhi, Apr 7 (PTI) A three-day national farm fair 'Krishi Mahakumbh' is scheduled to kickstart from April 11 in Raisen, which is part of Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Vidisha parliamentary constituency in Madhya Pradesh.

Chouhan said the national-level event will bring together the entire value chain of the rural economy -- from seed to market and from fish to pearl -- on a single platform, an official statement said.

The Dussehra Ground in Raisen will, for three days, serve as a hub for live demonstrations, technical sessions, training series and business meetings. Scientists, startups, farmer producer organisations, self-help groups, and rural entrepreneurs will engage in direct interaction and exchange of ideas.


The event will present the complete value chain encompassing production, livestock, processing, marketing and entrepreneurship at one place, enabling farmers to understand the entire journey from farm to market and even exports.

Chouhan said free training for farmers, live information on government schemes, agriculture start-up presentations and direct interaction with scientists will be the three key pillars of this 'Krishi Mahakumbh'.

"These efforts aim not only to increase agricultural productivity but also to open new avenues of employment and entrepreneurship for rural youth," he added.
