The Government of India has launched the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, a 15-day nationwide campaign aimed at bridging the gap between agricultural research and field-level implementation. Running from May 29 to June 12, 2025, the initiative seeks to directly engage farmers with scientific agricultural support.

Key Highlights:

• Approximately 2,170 teams comprising 16,000 scientists will visit over 65,000 villages across more than 700 districts, directly interacting with an estimated 1.5 crore farmers. 
• The campaign focuses on providing guidance tailored to local conditions on crop selection, seed varieties, fertilizer usage, and sustainable practices like natural farming. 
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of this initiative in making Indian agriculture the mainstay of a developed India, urging scientists and officials to view their participation as a service to the nation's farmers. 
• The campaign is a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), and state governments. 
• In states like Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the campaign's role in bringing research directly to the fields, aiming to spark a new revolution in the agriculture sector. 

The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan represents a significant step towards enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability by ensuring that scientific advancements reach the grassroots level.
