"Seed-to-market" roadmap sounds promising. If implemented properly, it can change lives. My uncle is a farmer in Punjab and the biggest issue is fair price for crops. Hope such events lead to concrete policies. 🙏

Attended one day of the Mahotsav! The session on water conservation techniques was excellent. Learned about drip irrigation subsidies. More such practical melas are needed across all states. Kudos to the organizers! 👍

As someone working in agricultural tech, I'm glad to see focus on modern tech. But information is one thing, affordability is another. How will a small farmer pay for these technologies? Schemes need to be more accessible.

Animal husbandry and fisheries are crucial for diversifying farm income. Good that it was highlighted. In our coastal areas, integrating fisheries with farming can be a game-changer. Hope they take this message to the fishermen communities too.

So many ministers on stage. I hope the benefits distributed were substantial and reached the genuine beneficiaries. Sometimes these events become photo-ops. Action on the ground is what matters. Jai Kisan!
