The content considered in the study are collected from renowned works of scientists, professors, Ph.D student's of varied educational institutes in their projects, thesis works.
The presentation gives a glimpse of what is ITK? and how it is important in Agriculture? and other aspects related to the context.
Bioversity International policy scientist Ronnie Vernooy gave this presentation at the the Global Consultation on Farmers’ Rights, Indonesia, 27-30 September 2016, organized by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty).
The importance of farmers’ rights is recognized in Article 9 of the Plant Treaty.
In this presentation Vernooy shows how a community-based approach to the management of agricultural biodiversity, including supporting community seedbanks, can empower and benefit smallholder farmers and farming communities economically, environmentally and socially. This approach makes implementing farmers’ rights at national level both practical and effective contributing to food and seed security, sustainable livelihoods and resilience.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Natural Farming is catching the attention of farmers across the country. Government of India
promoting natural farming/ agro-ecological approaches in a big way. Few states have already
taking up NF programs at different scales. FAO has synthesised the 10 principles of agro-ecological
transition with an appeal to the nations to enable transition into NF.
Challenges in Agroecological Transitions
1. Bio-inputs are not easily availabile
2. Lack of location / situation specific knowledge on NF methods
3. Addiction to Chemicals - needs Change in mindset.
4. Reducing labor- particularly in management
5. Access to valued Markets
Lack of Easy availability of bio-inputs has been a major obstacle in the spread of natural farming methods

Bio Resource Center
BRC is an enterprise run by an individual farmer/family/FPO, where time tested, locally
prepared inputs/formulations utilizing biological entities or biologically derived inputs
useful for improving soil health, crop growth, pest n disease management and
habitat management are made available to farmers of a defined geographical area.
• Train/ share info to any one on making and using bio-inputs – knowledge transfer
• Supply required raw materials if the farmers intend to prepare inputs by themselves.
• One stop centre for all Bio-inputs - Prepare/Multiply and supply organic inputs/bio-inoculants
• Facilitate to Acquire other useful IPM/INM/EE inputs

43. Abstract of Work Done under APDMP
1. Trained 105 farmer families - in establishing Bio resource Centres and Running in
villages.
2. Facilitated development of infrastructure for BRCs by FPOs.
3. Monitored randomly for assessing functioning and redressal of field problems.
4. Reviewed functioning of BRCs at DPMU level along with the project staff for better
understanding of the BRC activities.
5. Regularly addressed the field problems through Whatsapp group.
Outcome:
1. Established 105 BRCs in 5 districts,
2. 40% units are maintaining good range of products and servicing FPO farmers of their
area; 30% are maintaining only 3 or 4 items and catering to a part of few farmers
needs. And remaining 30% are just using some products for their own use.
44. How to sustain the BRCs ?
Problems faced by the entrepreneurs & Suggestions
There is no natural demand for the BRC products especially for bio
inoculants.
Promotion and demand creation may be taken up by supporting
organizations like RBKs.
The quality of the bio products produced in BRC need to be standardized.
A simple protocol maybe developed by the competent agencies and
train concerned NGO personnel for strict enforcement. Continuous handholding
support and random checks may be done for quality.
Lack of awareness on usage of bio inoculants.
To create awareness and build confidence and motivate farmers, it
needs to be demonstrated across all possible crop ecosystems of the village. And
all the farmers (Chemical, Semi chemical and Organic). may be exposed to these
demonstrations.
Lack of resources and capital for maintaining stocks (both raw materials
and finished products) in BRCs.
The FPOs / RBK may own up BRC units and with a micro planning
of the local situation, procurement & production may be increased to make the
products available in time in sufficient quantities.
45. Some Issues in Facilitation
Low interface between entrepreneur and farmers
Low coordination between BRC and promoters.
Low motivation in entrepreneurs coz of lack of demand/insufficient revenue.
Frequently changing BRC operators
Distantly located BRCs from Clic Offices.
46. Overall Challenges
• Improving knowledge levels of entrepreneurs.
• Retaining the entrepreneurs in BRC business.
• Convincing farmers to adopt.
• Coordination between BRC and other stakeholders.
A support system for redressal of various issues in
knowledge, technology, operation and field application.
