This document discusses the past, present, and future of the seed and biotech industry in India. It notes that food grain production has increased significantly since the 1950s due to improved seed varieties and hybrids introduced by the seed industry. Today, the private sector accounts for 90% of seed production and distribution. The future of agriculture relies on continued innovation in seed technology, including drought-resistant and nitrogen-efficient crops, as well as those with enhanced nutrition. The seed industry seeks government support through infrastructure status, loans, and inclusion in subsidy programs to further boost agricultural productivity and ensure food security.

Performance of Hybrid and Conventional Rice Varieties in Sindhsanaullah noonari
ย
The study was design to compare the economic performance of hybrid and conventional rice production, major
objectives of the study were to asses financial gain from hybrid rice comparing with conventional rice and
Taluka Golarchi was selected for the present study where both on hybrid and conventional rice varieties are
grown, primary data on hybrid and conventional rice was collected from the farmers through personal interviews
with the help of specially designed questionnaire. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect the
data. Statistical approaches used to analysis the data. Total costs per hectare of hybrid rice were 148992.23 Rs
per hectare which were more then conventional rice was 140661.68 Rs per hectactare. Major differences in
hybrid rice production cost are related to higher seed prices, slightly higher land management costs. On an
average higher yield (196.14 monds per hectare) was obtained from hybrid rice while conventional rice yield
(140.14 monds per hectare) was less then hybrid rice. There was 16.64 percent increase in hybrid rice yield
comparing with conventional rice which gives additional income to poor farmers, Price gained per mounds was
almost the same in both activities. High profit was observed in hybrid rice and low profit was obtained in
conventional rice. Most of the farmers focused to grow hybrid rice due to high yield.
Keywords: Rice, performance, hybrid, conventional, varieties, Pakistan
The official concern for food productivity stagnation calls for a Second Green Revolution involving new hybrid rice and transgenic rice varieties. However, traditional rice landraces prove to be fine tuned to local soil and climatic conditions. Traditional farmer landraces can yield significantly greater in marginal environmental conditions than any modern hybrid variety. Traditional agoecological knowledge and farmer innovations are the best bet to address the food security issue.

Rice (Oryza sativa L. 2n = 2x = 24) is a staple food for over half of the world's populationproviding 43% of calorie. Rice yield has experienced many fold jumps since the 1950s. This happened primarily as the result of genetic improvement and increasing harvest index by reducing plant height using the semi-dwarf genes and utilization of heterosis by producing hybrids. Heterosis is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring. An offspring exhibits heterosis if its traits are enhanced as a result of mixing the genetic contributions of its parents. Genetic basis of heterosis included overdominance, dominance, and additive effects.

Comparative Economics Analysis of the Bt. Cotton V/SConventional Cotton Produ...sanaullah noonari
ย
Abstract: Cotton is an important cash crop which covers 35 million hectares of land. Major objectives of the study were to
examine the role of determinants of cotton yield to assesโ financial gain from Bt.cotton comparing with conventional Cotton.
District Khairpur was selected for the present study where both Bt.cotton and conventional cotton varieties are grown primary
data on Bt. cotton and conventional cotton was collected from the farmers through personal interviews with the help of
specially designed questionnaire. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect the data. Cobb-Douglas production
function was used for yield analysis. Logit model was used to find the probability of Bt.cotton. Farmers growing Bt. cotton
who had used seed rate (6-8) kg per acre were 46.66 percent, while 53.33 percent had used seed rate (9-10) kg per acre.
Conventional cotton who had used seed rate (6-8) kg per acre was 66.66 percent while 33.33 percent had used seed rate (9-10)
kg per acre. Total costs per acre in Bt.cotton sown were greater than the conventional Cotton activities, total costs incurred in
the conventional cotton were far lower (about 26 percent lower) than Bt.cotton. On an average higher yield (40 mounds per
acre) was obtained in Bt.cotton sown than conventional cotton yield (25 mounds per acre). Price gained per mounds was
almost the same in two cotton activities. Higher profit was observed in Bt. cotton and very low profit was obtained in
conventional cotton.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
ย
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. The Seed & Biotech Industry:
Past, Present & Future
By
M Prabhakar Rao
President, NSAI
1
2. Phenomenal Progress in Agriculture
๏ India made phenomenal progress in agricultural sector in the
post-independent era.
๏ Food grain production increased from a mere 50 million
tonnes to over 227 million tones in the last six decades.
๏ Production increased by 11 times in Wheat, 4 times in Rice.
๏ Cotton production increased by 11 times.
๏ Oil seed production increased by 5 times.
๏ Though production index (total food produced per land area)
has risen considerably, the food index (food produced per
person) has not increased proportionately.
2
4. Role of Seed Industry
๏ Seed sector made impressive progress over the last five decades.
๏ Quantity of quality seeds handled crossed 100 lakh qtls as against 1 lakh
qtls in the 60s
๏ Growth of food grain production and seed production happened
simultaneously, clearly establishing linkage between the two and
dependence of agricultural production on quality seed production and
availability.
๏ Seed is the only vehicle to carry superior genetics with high yield potential
and biotech traits to the farmer.
๏ Technology delivery to both small and big farmers through seed is the
most convenient and effective way (as compared to other productivity
enhancing inputs like fertilizers, irrigation etc).
๏ Seed offers โlow cost - easy to deliverโ, solutions for raising the crop
productivity.
4
5. The establishment and growth of seed industry
๏ Seed Industry was primarily in public sector in 60โs and 70โs.
๏ From 70โs onwards, participation of private sector strengthened the
seed industry.
๏ In the beginning, public sector was instrumental in bringing in
hybrid seed production technology, seed certification systems, seed
processing, testing methods and quality control.
๏ Subsequently, private sector took over and made spectacular
progress in the supply of quality seed.
๏ Seed Industry in India has grown largely on Indigenous technology.
5
6. The establishment and growth of seed industry (Contd...)
๏ Crop research institutes of the ICAR and the State Agricultural
Universities were sources of technology for the seed companies in
initial stages until 1980.
๏ Subsequently, several large private seed companies took up in-house
breeding activities and developed excellent hybrids in the crops like
Cotton, Maize, Jowar, Sunflowers, Bajra etc.
๏ The development of hybrids is largely based on indigenous
germplasm except in Corn and some vegetable crops.
๏ The Biotech traits like Bt Cotton were brought into India by the
private sector which contributed significantly to the yield increases
in cotton.
6
7. Present Status
๏ There are two Govt. of India organizations ie., National Seeds
Corporation (NSC) and State Farms Corporation of India (SFCI)
and 14 State Seed Corporations (SSC).
๏ There are estimated to be 500 private seed companies operating at
various levels.
๏ Total value of seeds sold in India is estimated at Rs. 5,000 Crores.
๏ Private sector seed companies account for about 90% of the total
value of the seed distributed.
7
8. Present Status
Contdโฆ..
Hybrid Seeds
๏ In the several important crops hybrid seeds have contributed a lot in
improving yields, quality and pest / disease resistance.
S. No Crop % of hybrid seed Estimated Value
usage (Rs. In Crores)
1 Cotton 80 1870
2 Maize 55 690
3 Bajra 80 150
4 Sunflower 100 250
5 Rice 3 190
6 Veg crops like Chillies, Bhendi,
Tomato, Cabbage, Cauliflower, - 250
Brinjal

9. Present Status
Contdโฆ..
Extension activities taken up by the Seed Industry
๏ Seed companies take up extension of appropriate crop production
technologies particularly in case of hybrid seeds so that the farmers
harness the full genetic potential by adopting proper agronomic
practices.
Ex: (i) Bt Cotton โ Closer spacing and increase of plant
population on account of change in the land architecture has
resulted in increase in productivity by 100 โ 150%
9
10. Present Status
Contdโฆ..
Extension activities taken up by the Seed Industry
(ii) Hybrid Maize โ High density planting, Yield increase up to 70-
100%
(iii)Hybrid Rice - Reduced seed rate (Also benefitting OPV users)
(iv)Hybrid Tomato - Staking for 4 โ 5 time higher yields.
(v) Introduction of seed treatments in Cotton, Maize, Sunflower,
Bajra to provide ease of cultivation to the farmer.
10
11. Future Thrust Areas in Agriculture
๏ The food grain production needs to be increased faster than the
demand, for the food security of the country.
๏ Technologies to produce crops with less water, less fertilizer and
other inputs is the need of the hour.
๏ Enhancing disease and pest tolerance to reduce application of
chemicals and minimizing production risks to the farmers.
๏ Breed crops to enable farmers practice sustainable agriculture.
๏ Technologies to reduce use of human labour and enable
mechanization in agriculture.
11
12. Rice
๏ In Rice, increasing usage of hybrids from the present 3%
to a level of at least 25% can contribute an additional 25
million tones of Rice production.
๏ All the area under hybrids now is in Central part of the
country around Uttar Pradesh.
๏ The industry is working overtime to develop suitable Rice
hybrids for the South, East and Northern parts of the
country.
12
13. Other Major Crops
๏ In crops like Wheat, Mustard, Redgram (Arhar) also there
is potential to develop hybrids and industry is spending
huge financial and human resources for breeding hybrids
in these crops which may be launched in the next few
years.
๏ The Introduction of the hybrids in these crops can
enhance the yields @ 10% per annum.
13
14. Impact of Biotechnology
๏ The introduction of Bt Cotton in India has seen the
cotton production increased from 140 Lakh bales to 310
Lakh bales in five years.
๏ India is poised to become the largest cotton producer in
the world surpassing China in the next 5 years.
๏ There are several technologies that can revolutionize
agricultural production impacting other major crops like
Maize, Soybean, Rice etc.
14
15. Current Research in Biotechnology
๏ There are several technologies which are mostly addressing pest and
disease problems at various stages of development which are likely
to make a great impact on Indian agriculture.

18. The Industry Views
๏ There is a great potential for raising productivity of all the
major crops in India.
๏ Seed industry can contribute substantially towards this
goal by not only providing quality seeds but also through
extension of production techniques.
๏ The cost benefit ratio on the money spent on seeds is very
high as compared to the other options for raising crop
productivity like fertilizers, irrigation etc.
๏ Seed prices in India are reasonable and affordable to the
farmers and therefore there is no necessity for Govt.
intervention. 18
19. What the Govt. can do
๏ The research and extension efforts of the seed companies
need to be recognized and encouraged by the Govt.
๏ Launching of technology mission to encourage R&D,
enhance seed production and distribution.
๏ To devise Seed Crop Insurance Scheme to cover the risk
of seed growing farmers taking into consideration various
aspects of seed productions.
๏ Establishment of Seed Banks.
19
20. The support sought by seed industry
๏ Grant of infrastructure status to seed industry.
๏ Availability of soft loans for capital investment and
working capital.
๏ Creation of a corpus fund for acquiring agri
biotechnologies globally and make them available to the
farmers by distributing / licensing through the seed
companies.
๏ Inclusion of labelled seeds of the private sector seed
companies in centrally sponsored seed distribution
schemes of Govt. of India
20
21. The support sought by seed industry Contd..
๏ Extending production and distribution subsidies to the
private sector for their privately bred varieties / hybrids.
๏ Creation of enabling environment for the seed industry to
