MODERN AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY VERSUS INDIA’S AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
BERSEEM Trifolium alexandriannium is an annual leguminous fodder crop.
One of the most suitable fodder crops for areas below 1700 m altitude with irrigation facilities.
Remains soft and succulent at all stages of growth.
It can be grown without irrigation in areas with high water table and under water-logged conditions.
Indigenous to Egypt.
This ppt is about the distribution of wasteland and problem soils. Those lands are wastelands which are ecologically unstable,
whose topsoil has nearly been completely lost, and
which have developed toxicity in the root zones or growth of most plants, both annual crops and trees”.

The agriculture sector employs nearly half of the workforce in the country. However, it contributes to 17.5% of the GDP (at current prices in 2015-16).Agriculture sector’s contribution has decreased from more than 50% of GDP in the 1950s to 15.4% in 2015-16 (at constant prices). This slides discuss about Indian agriculture status and problems and solutions.
At 179.9 million hectares, India holds the second largest agricultural land in the world. A majority of the Indian population relies on agriculture for employment and livelihood. Steady investments in technology development, irrigation infrastructure, emphasis on modern agricultural practices and provision of agricultural credit and subsidies are the major factors contributing to agriculture growth.
The country has today emerged as a major player in the global agriculture market. Agriculture accounts for 14 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) and about 11 per cent of India’s total exports; it is also an essential link in the supply chain of the manufacturing sector and at the same time constitutes a big market for industrial products. Currently, India is the world's largest rice exporter and second in terms of wheat exports. Horticulture exports have also seen good growth. India's agro exports during 2013–14 touched US$ 45 billion as against US$ 25 billion in 2011–12.
The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organisation responsible for development of the agriculture sector in India. The organisation is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilisation of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

11. • India basically an agricultural country,
likely to continue to be so for a long time
to come unless some miracle happens at
some stage. In spite of this the country
has been unable to be assured of needed
supplies of food grains and other
agricultural products. Therefore the
scope of agriculture is very vast in India
and also in Maharashtra, as it is the most
important enterprise in India economy
(agriculture sector contribute 30 % GDP).
12. • India - only country in the world having all type
of soils & climatic conditions suitable for
growing variety of crops.
• Proper attention needed to exploit all the
agricultural resources and technology
developed in the field of agriculture, India will
be at the top in the world.
• India - exporter of fruits, tea, coffee, basmati
rice and many other agricultural commodities,
which help for getting foreign exchange.
• Foreign exchange -Rs. 60 billion is earned
• 25 % of countries total exchange earnings.
13. • In Asian countries figures of 2002
indicated that India has largest area
under rice, however production was
highest in China due to less
productivity (2915 kg/ha) of Indian
rice than China (6266 kg/ha).
14. • India has the potential to become the
number one rice producer in the world. It
is expected to play a crucial role in rice
production and technology & focus has
to be on tapping the production potential
in the North Eastern region. New high
yielding varieties and area under hybrid
rice should be extended beyond the
frontiers of South India.
15. • In Maharashtra, scope
for increasing rice
productivity of 1751
kg/ha to around 3000
kg/ha as observed in
potential areas of A.P.,
Punjab and Tamilnadu.
• Tap the potential of
ethanol production from
sorghum grains and
jaggery production from
juice of sweet sorghum.
16. • Among the pulses 90 % of
world’s pigeon pea produced
in India as well as acreage
(1.02 thousand ha.) in
Maharashtra is highest
among all states but the
productivity is still lower
(757 kg/ha) compared to
Uttar Pradesh (1142 kg/ha)
this could be increased
through use of recent
technologies.
17. • Recently agriculture includes
all aspects of crop production
(field crops, plantation and
fruit crops), livestock farming,
processing and preservation of
agricultural produce such as
food grains, fiber, vegetables,
fruits and animal products,
fisheries, forestry, apiculture,
cultuserire etc.
18. • No doubt, we have achieved the goal of green
revolution (for increasing production of
wheat, sorghum & rice as major food crops,
with introduction of Mexican varieties in India
by Nariman E. Borlaug is 1965-1970),
25. • There are new challenges or problems
faced by the farmers like water logging,
salinity and micronutrient deficiency
symptoms particularly zinc which cause
khaira disease of rice, as well as new pest
problem in sugarcane like wooly aphids
and white grub.
27. • To overcome these problems, appropriate
water management, fertilizer management
and pest management through integrated
approach are developed.
28. • Now a days it is necessary to evolve the
varieties of field crops, vegetables, fruit
crops etc. with quality and high yield
potential, and resistant to pests and
diseases with wider adaptability under
different eco-units.
29.
30. • An animal breeding for increasing
milk and meat production is
essential.
31. It is also essential to initiate and strengthen the
researches on cropping systems rather than individual
crop to exploit fullest potential of natural resources.
32.
33. Similarly, research on agro-forestry system suitable to different
agro-ecological units for proper land use, environment protection /
conservation and increasing agricultural production.
34. • Preparation of value added products
(e.g. Baby corn which fetches higher
price, use of safflower petals as a
ayurvedic medicine)
35. • Use of genetically modified plants by means of
biotechnology for increasing agricultural production.
36. All these are the recent challenges in
the field of agriculture.
37. • Therefore, continuous research and
development in field of agriculture is
non-ending and continuous process.
• In India about 45 SAU’s (State
Agricultural Universities) so also huge
network of National Agricultural
Research System is in operation under
ICAR and is looking for research,
education and extension activities.
38. • Similarly in Maharashtra, four
Agricultural Universities, Department of
Agriculture, ICAR funded KVK’s and
several Non-Government Organization
(NGO’s) like Pani Panchayat are engaged
in education, research and transfer of
technology as well as motivating farmers
for awareness of modern technologies in
the field of production per unit area
without degradation of natural
resources.
39. • Dry land agriculture :
• Crop diversification :
• Hi-tech Horticulture :
• Animal based farming system :
• System for disease surveillance & monitoring
• Sustainable farming :
• Organic farming :
• Agro-industries :
• Multidisciplinary Research :
40. Multidisciplinary Research :
• Water resource development and
management, water use management.
• Integrated nutrient, pest and disease
management.
• Food and Agricultural processing.
• Bio-mass management and utilization.
• Crop improvement
• Multi-disciplinary areas generally use
resources more economically.
