And for a Friday ….. returning from Mumbai after a book launch …”Sleeping with Pesticides”..…some thoughts …some musings …..
Ooofff.. … phew… what a week gone by in Mumbai ……Board meetings of PCGT ( Public Concern for Governance Trust ) … BCCI ( Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry ) ….. & the most important of them all …. Launch of a very important landmark book ….. amidst Operation Sindoor …..Mumbai was tense …..speculations & rumours galore ….. until within 72 hours Pakistan was battered … shattered & then they surrendered ………
The importance & contribution of Indian Agriculture in making India the fourth largest Economy in the World ….. & …. soon….overtake Germany to become the third largest Economy is not recognised not only by the developed western world ….. but most Indians in Urban settings are unaware of the huge contribution of the Agri sector to India becoming a Super Power ….. India ranks second globally in agricultural output & farm produce & is one of the most significant exporters ….. more than 40 Bn $s worth annually …….& this is just the tip of the iceberg …. Indian agriculture is at the cusp of a huge revolution ….. the biggest disadvantage so far of small size of land holdings will soon turn to its big advantage …. thanks to AI , ML & use of Drone , modern logistics , surveillance & scientific farming …. Agri sector will propel India over the next decade …..hence the importance of the book launched by Dr. A.S. Indulkar …. “Sleeping with Pesticides” …… it will soon be available on Amazon to be ordered on line …… it is an excellent manual for all who want to understand agriculture ….advocating safe & judicious use of Agri inputs on sustainable basis …, guidelines of global stewardship …..: Congratulations to Dr. Indulkar for a yeomen service to the Nation…..
India’s time has come …. Let us all partake in its Growth ….the Ethical way …. the sustainable way …. the SEEGOS way.
