How can workshops, conferences, and brainstorming sessions be structured to generate actionable strategies for strengthening agricultural research, education, and extension in Uttar Pradesh?
Involve All Stakeholders – farmers, researchers, KVK experts, startups, and policymakers.
Show Real-Life Working Models Research: Drought-tolerant paddy (Sahbhagi Dhan), Zero tillage wheat. Education: Farmer Field Schools, Pantnagar’s Agri-Incubators. Extension: WhatsApp advisory groups (KVK Bareilly), Custom Hiring Centres for tractors/drones, Solar cold storage in Gorakhpur.
Group Problem-Solving – teams work on district-specific challenges (e.g., drip irrigation in Bundelkhand, potato value addition in Farrukhabad).
Action Plan & Follow-up – every session ends with a clear “What, Who, When” roadmap.
Workshops, conferences, and brainstorming sessions should be structured with clear objectives, expert-led sessions, interactive discussions, and strategy roadmaps, so that they move beyond academic exchanges to generate concrete action plans for strengthening agriculture in UP.
