A Mega Agricultural Event in Madhya Pradesh
The Unnat Krishi Mahotsav 2026 is set to emerge as a landmark event in India’s agricultural calendar, bringing together innovation, knowledge, and opportunity under one roof. Organised by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer’s Welfare, the three-day national agriculture fair will be held from April 11 to 13, 2026, at Dussehra Maidan in Raisen.
Designed as both an exhibition and training programme, the event aims to empower farmers by connecting them directly with cutting-edge technologies, experts, and institutions shaping the future of Indian agriculture.
Focus on Technology and Innovation
A key highlight of the Mahotsav is its strong emphasis on modern agricultural technologies. The event will showcase AI-powered drones, smart farm machinery, nano-fertilisers, and advanced irrigation systems, reflecting the government’s push towards precision farming and sustainability.
Large exhibition zones—set up across multiple hangars—will feature thematic areas such as Micro-Irrigation, Seed Development, Animal Husbandry, and Smart Agriculture Solutions. Live demonstrations, especially of drone-based spraying and mechanised farming tools, will offer farmers practical insights into increasing productivity while reducing labour and input costs.
Bridging the Gap: Lab to Land
One of the central objectives of Unnat Krishi Mahotsav 2026 is to strengthen the “Lab to Land” approach—ensuring that scientific research and agricultural innovations reach farmers effectively. The event will bring together scientists, agri-experts, policymakers, and farmers on a common platform, encouraging knowledge exchange and real-world application of research.
Training sessions and seminars will guide farmers on best practices, including efficient water usage under initiatives like “More Crop Per Drop,” improved seed varieties, and sustainable farming techniques.
Leadership and Participation
The Mahotsav is expected to be inaugurated by Rajnath Singh, alongside Mohan Yadav. The event is anticipated to draw thousands of farmers from Madhya Pradesh and neighbouring states, making it a significant gathering for the agricultural community.
Participation from international and national research bodies, including organizations like CGIAR , will further enrich the event with global perspectives and innovations.
A Step Towards Sustainable Agriculture
Unnat Krishi Mahotsav 2026 reflects India’s broader vision of transforming agriculture through innovation, sustainability, and farmer empowerment. By promoting modern techniques and fostering collaboration, the event aims to enhance productivity, improve farmers’ incomes, and build resilience against climate challenges.
As India continues its journey towards agricultural modernization, initiatives like this Mahotsav play a crucial role in ensuring that farmers remain at the heart of progress—equipped with the tools and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly evolving sector.
