Assocham has called for holistic development of agricultural sector when it takes up next Green Revolution. “Indian agricultural sector needs to be revamped to meet future food demand and nutritional security of this huge population,” Mr Dilip Modi, President of Assocham, said.

Addressing the inaugural of the global summit on Green Revolution II - Growth in transformation here on Tuesday, he said the agricultural sector was in “grave need of a development path involving greater productivity growth across the entire agribusiness value chain to ensure inclusive economic growth and reduction in poverty”.

He also released a study on Green Revolution II, jointly conducted by Assocham and ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics).

“Provision for end-to-end services, solutions to problems faced by farmers and providing a linkage to market is significant to facilitate access to better technology and other resources,” Mr Modi said.
