๐Ÿ“ˆ According to the India Innovation Index 2021, stronger linkages between academic research and industry applications significantly enhance regional innovation capabilities. Yet, only 38% of Indian universities currently engage in structured industry partnerships.

๐ŸŒฑ In agriculture, this gap is critical โ€“ with over 85% of farmers being smallholders, translating scientific solutions into scalable field-level practices requires close cooperation.

Together, we are committed to empowering farmers, enriching academic insights, and creating a resilient, sustainable agricultural future.
