It is with great pride and pleasure that we present the Souvenir and Abstract Book of the 9th National Convention: AGRIVISION-2025, held from July 26–27, 2025, at the National Agricultural Science Complex, New Delhi. This landmark event, themed “Empowered Youth – Prosperous Agriculture: Skill, Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” brings
together a vibrant confluence of young minds, seasoned experts, policymakers, and agriinnovators from across the country to reimagine and revitalize Indian agriculture.
AGRIVISION has grown into a premier national platform that fosters critical discourse, collaborative thinking, and strategic action to transform agriculture into a more inclusive, sustainable, and profitable sector. The 9th edition continues this legacy by placing youth at the centre of the conversation—acknowledging them not just as beneficiaries, but as the drivers of change. The convention highlights the significance of equipping young professionals with cutting-edge skills, fostering an innovation-driven mindset, and promoting agrientrepreneurship
for holistic rural development and food system resilience.
This souvenir and abstract book is a reflection of the intellectual depth and thematic diversity of the convention. It encompasses lead lectures and scientific abstracts that delve into critical areas such as agri-startups, digital agriculture, climate-resilient farming, value chain innovation, and skill-based capacity building. These contributions are a testament to the enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment of India’s agricultural research and innovation
ecosystem.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all contributors, participants, organizing committee members, partnering institutions, and sponsors who made AGRIVISION-2025 a resounding success. It is our sincere hope that this compilation serves not only as a record of the convention’s scholarly engagements but also as a source of inspiration for continued efforts toward building a youth-empowered, innovation-led, and prosperous agricultural future.
