In a bid to revolutionize farming practices, Guna district concluded its two-day Agri Science Fair cum Millet Mission on February 26 at the District Panchayat Guest House. The event, part of the 2026 Farmer Welfare Year, spotlighted income growth via tech dissemination and innovative agriculture.
Leading the applause, Collector Kishor Kumar Kanyal lauded local farmers’ ingenuity. ‘From last year to this, your bold experiments have driven income rises and birthed new agri-models,’ he stated, urging continued momentum.
As the Agri Year unfolds, Kanyal detailed natural farming’s trajectory: modest starts leading to bountiful yields, premium organic pricing, export ease, and health perks. Weekly Sunday Haats are gaining traction, set for wider rollout to grassroots levels.
Agri Sakhi women are transforming outreach, empowering peers with tech know-how. The game-changing e-vikas system offers online bookings, sparing farmers endless waits—details on inputs availability come straight to phones.
Proudly, Guna excelled in eco-friendly stubble handling, far ahead of prior years. The fair buzzed with stall visits, where scientists from Dewas and Ashoknagar KVKs unveiled advanced seeds, organic techniques, and equipment demos.
Dialogues with expert farmers and panels delved into millets, natural methods, and tools. Stalls brimmed with seeds, manures, drugs, and irrigation gear from leading firms. Top innovators walked away with certificates amid a gathering of 2,500 farmers, leaders like BJP chief Sikarwar, and departmental heads.
