Event was organised at the backdrop of a theme “The Future of Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Change”.

The fifth iteration of the Agritech Summit and Swaraj Awards 24 took place on 9 September 2024 in New Delhi, and Swaraj Tractors, which is a subsidiary of the Mahindra Group. The event organised in conjunction with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), was held in order to honour the amazing achievements that farmers and agricultural institutions have made over the course of the previous year.

 Event was organised at the backdrop of a theme “The Future of Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Change”. The summit was honoured by the presence of Dr Devesh Chaturvedi, Secretary, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India. He lauded Swaraj Tractors for its unwavering commitment to providing assistance to small and marginal farmers. Furthermore, he argued that agriculture is the foundation of the economy, which must be self-sufficient in order to be successful. He extended his remarks on the digital agricultural mission while simultaneously extending his congratulations to the winners of the Swaraj Awards 2024. Dr Chaturvedi was present at the occasion on behalf of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Minister of Agriculture, who was unable to take part in the event in person.

 Focusing on importance of agriculture and mechanisation

Over the course of his keynote talk, Harish Chavan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Swaraj Division, emphasised the significance of agriculture and mechanisation in the process of bringing the goal of “Viksit Bharat” to fruition. His statement was as follows: “As India strives to become a developed nation, agriculture must be at the forefront of the movement.” In light of the fact that our agricultural GDP is among the highest in the world, we cannot simply strive to achieve food sufficiency; rather, we must establish ourselves as the food basket of the world. Agricultural production in India has the potential to become a globally competitive sector if the country adopts innovative practices, environmentally responsible methods, and contemporary infrastructure. It is possible to overcome the challenges of climate change and to attract young people to farming through the use of mechanisation and technology, which will pave the path for a prosperous and dynamic future agricultural sector.

During the event, there were panel discussions that revolved around the future of agriculture, and significant dignitaries and government officials participated in those debates. The conversations included a wide range of subjects, including agricultural governance, technological change, precision farming in ornamental horticulture and allied sectors, agricultural innovation, and financial inclusion for farmers.
