Nara Chandrababu Naidu Please Read & Share... Second Green Revolution in AP begins today! Today’s meeting with Professor MS Swaminathan, renowned agricultural scientist and Father of Indias Green Revolution, marked the beginning of a second green revolution in AP. Prof. Swaminathan has agreed to guide Guntur University and transform it into a hotspot for research & knowledge development. The University will also promote science-based agricultural knowledge dissemination that will vastly improve farm practices and management in AP. We also spoke at length about how advancements in science and use of inclusive agriculture can assure a green, thriving and food secure AP. I spelled out my Government’s vision to achieve a knowledgeable, technology-abled farmers’ community who can connect to markets directly. My previous experience and success with Rythu Bazars, which the Centre has initiated recently, will give us much headway in our pursuit. Dr. Swaminathan was his usual kind self when he agreed instantly to co-participate in AP’s development story by introducing sustainable agricultural practices here. He will also help guide farmers towards achieving profitable and resilient agriculture, sustainable food, economic and environmental security. Prof. Swaminathan has extended an invitation to attend the Indian Youth Science Congress 2014 organised by M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation. I feel honored and look forward to meeting tomorrow’s scientific leaders on a single platform.
