Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma highlighted the State Government’s efforts to strengthen Rajasthan’s agricultural economy and increase agricultural productivity. The government aims to promote smart farming among farmers using modern technologies and position Rajasthan as a leading agricultural exporter. To achieve this goal, the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet–2026 (GRAM) is scheduled to take place next year. Sharma oversaw preparations for the event at the Chief Minister’s Office, emphasizing the need for successful organization.
The event’s objective is to drive innovation and modern technology adoption in the agriculture sector while attracting investments. Farmers in Rajasthan stand to benefit from the knowledge and expertise shared by agricultural experts from India and abroad. The Chief Minister instructed various departments, including Agriculture, Horticulture, and Animal Husbandry, to collaborate closely for the event’s effective execution. He also proposed honoring outstanding farmers during the meet.
Highlighting the importance of prioritizing farmers’ needs, Sharma stressed the invitation of experts and specialists in agriculture, water management, and crop diversification from both domestic and international sources. The three-day state-level event is expected to draw over 50,000 farmers, providing a platform to showcase Rajasthan’s agricultural potential globally. The meet aims to drive research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and agricultural marketing in the region, with a focus on benefiting farmers at the grassroots level.
Officials were directed to ensure widespread publicity of the event to reach farmers across the state and inform them about relevant programs and initiatives. The Agritech Meet will feature exhibitions, business meetings, interactions between farmers and scientists, and technical workshops. It will serve as a platform for farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs to exchange insights on smart farming, marketing strategies, and advanced agricultural technologies, including drone technology and modern farm machinery.
Discussions during the meeting also covered the utilization of 500-metric-ton capacity warehouses established under a significant grain storage initiative in the cooperative sector. Senior officials from relevant departments participated in the meeting to ensure comprehensive planning and execution of the upcoming event.
