A Grand Success: The All India Kisan Mela 2025 Concludes
The First All India Kisan Mela 2025, hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences at IIMT University, Meerut, concluded triumphantly after a highly impactful run from 7th to 9th October, 2025. The three-day event was a resounding success in promoting modern, scientific farming among the agricultural community, witnessing overwhelming participation from across northern India.
The Mela successfully achieved its objective of fostering a crucial hub for the exchange of knowledge, display of cutting-edge agricultural technology, and celebration of rural heritage, thus accelerating the integration of science with cultivation practices.
Inauguration & Visionary Address: Science Meets Cultivation
The event was inaugurated by the esteemed Chancellor of IIMT University, Shri Yogesh Mohan Ji Gupta. He emphasized the Mela’s dual purpose:
"This is not just a Kisan Mela, but a Vigyan Mela (Science Fair). When agriculture and animal husbandry merge with science, these sectors can yield more profit than any other commercial business. Adopting scientific techniques and quality products is essential to boost production capacity and make India a developed nation."
Chancellor Shri Gupta, accompanied by Vice-Chancellor Dr. Deepa Sharma and Registrar Dr. V.P. Rakesh, toured the exhibits, marking the start of a highly informative event.
The Mela was organized by the School of Agricultural Sciences, led by Dean Dr. Rajbir Singh, and held with the generous financial support of IFFCO and IFFCO Tokio General Insurance Company.
