A special highlight of the event will be the Farmers–Scientists Interaction Programme (Kisan Gosthi), enabling direct engagement between farmers and agricultural experts. These sessions will address practical topics such as agronomy, pest management, soil health, water-use efficiency, horticulture, and climate-resilient farming systems.
Live demonstrations and awareness sessions will also be organized on key national initiatives including Per Drop More Crop (PDMC), Oilseeds and Pulses Mission, Kisan Credit Card Scheme, Integrated Farming System (IFS), National Beekeeping Mission, Natural and Organic Farming, Drone Didi Initiative, and Polyhouse (Greenhouse) Technologies, with a focus on rural community development in border areas.
The fair will further host a Business and Investors’ Meet to connect Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), agri-startups, and investors, fostering discussions on value chain development, market access, branding, and entrepreneurship opportunities.
The CAU Regional Agri Fair 2025-26 is expected to draw wide participation from farmers, students, government departments, and development agencies across the northeastern states.
