A grand national-level Advanced Agriculture Festival, named Unnat Krishi Mahotsav, is set to take place at the Dussehra Ground in Raisen from April 11 to 13, 2026. Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is spearheading this three-day event, aiming to offer farmers comprehensive solutions from “Lab to Field” and “Seed to Market” all under one roof.
Described as an “Agricultural Mahakumbh” by Chouhan, the festival will exhibit modern farming technologies, training programs, live demonstrations, and market linkages to revolutionize agricultural practices in the region. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will inaugurate the event, with Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari attending the valedictory session on April 13.
During the festival, a detailed agricultural roadmap for Raisen, Vidisha, Sehore, and surrounding areas with similar agro-climatic conditions will be unveiled. The event, which includes around 300 stalls covering various aspects of agriculture, will witness participation from leading organizations such as ICAR, State Agricultural Universities, and Farmer-Producer Organisations (FPOs).
Throughout the three days, farmers will have access to subject-specific seminars, hands-on training, and live demonstrations on topics like precision farming, soil health management, and post-harvest technology. The fair aims to provide practical knowledge and immediate benefits to farmers, consolidating information on drones, modern machinery, and FPOs in one accessible platform.
