PAU Kisan Mela to Honor Innovative Farmers in Ludhiana

Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) is set to recognize a select group of farmers at its annual Kisan Mela in Ludhiana. The ceremony will spotlight those who have introduced pioneering techniques or practices that promise to reshape regional agriculture. Organisers say the award aims to encourage wider adoption of innovative methods across Punjab's farming community.

The Kisan Mela, a staple event in the state's agricultural calendar, brings together producers, researchers, and agri‑businesses for exhibitions, demonstrations and knowledge‑exchange sessions. This year’s fair will feature the honor ceremony on the main stage, allowing the honoured farmers to share brief insights about their work.

Officials from PAU emphasized that celebrating grassroots innovation aligns with the university’s mission to boost productivity and sustainability. Attendees are expected to include local officials, extension officers and a large number of farmers from across the state, all gathering to learn about the latest advancements in farming.

The event underscores the growing focus on farmer‑led solutions in India's agricultural policy discourse, highlighting how individual ingenuity can complement institutional research.

The ceremony will be held on the fair's opening day, with details on the awardees to be announced shortly before the event.
