Ecological Initiatives - Green India |
Ecological Initiatives at AAI, Indore Airport |
In Association With Airport Authority of India, Indore Airport & NICT presents project Green India.

 |
Why - Agro Projects ? |
|
- India’s consumption of food would double by 2020 were as the land available for cultivation would further reduce.
- It means that lesser area and lesser water, India has to double the production only by Technology and Farm Management.
|
Employment in agriculture shows reducing patterns |
- In 1980’s, the agriculture sector employed partially or full 70% of people.
- This figure reduces to 65% by 1994 and expected further fall by 60% by 2012.
- This reduction in manpower in agriculture need to be addresser timely and the answer to this is Green Revolution.
|
The Green Revolution
|
|
"Increased productivity through technology and effective post harvest management."
Vision for Developed Nation
|
The issue need to by taken up in mission mode
|
|
"Steps are require to train skilled human resources on technology to meet the goal."

|
Fact Remains |
- Food grains and products provide self-sufficiency in food.
- Nation security, enhance Geo-Political & Geo-Commercial value.
- First green revolution made India self reliable in food needs by producing 200 million tones.
|
The Issue |
- India is a agro – Economic country.
- Over the period of time since green revolution the input cost gradually increased.
- The output are not resulted proportional increase in ago-income.
- Land reduction due to urbanization.
Government & farmers have to face these problems and has to work for increase productivity to meet growing demand.
|
INDIA should have a MISSION to achieve a minimum production of 360 million (MT) of food grain in next two decades. To meet,
- Domestic consumptions.
- Leave sufficient margin for exports.
- Crisis managment corpus.
- To Aid other countries.

|
The target can be achieved by deploying
|
- High technology.
- Agricultural equipment.
- Bio technology.
- Alternative agriculture.
- Training.
- Knowledge form LAB’S to fields.
This will lead to high agricultural productivity with net results of higher GDP.
|
The present agriculture scenario |
As per the study made;
- Farmer are still using old traditional farming system mostly.
- Gap in use of modern technology in field and Agro Lab’s.
- Lack of knowledge & awareness.
- Lack of Training and skill.
- Young rural population migrating to city & metro’s for alternative jobs.
- Agriculture is still remains as unorganized sector.
- Lack of mission.
- Facing high input cost & low productivity.
- Missing link between farmers and knowledge professional in area.
- Lack of dissemination of Information.
- Poor Infrastructure in rural areas.
- Low or nil ICT use for information and education.
Efforts were made by government and other agency but more need to be done.
