There is a need for direct linkage between science laboratories and farms; it is now imperative that the Indian scientist understand the problems of the local farmer and provide solutions to those problems.
The Biotech-KISAN is a Farmer centric scheme launched by of the Department of Biotechnology, where scientists will work in sync with farmers to understand problems and find solutions.
The woman farmer is often neglected. It is important to empower the women farmer, help her meet her concerns for better seed, storage of seed and protection of the crops from disease and pest.
Biotech-KISAN will connect farmers to best global practices; training workshops will be held in India and other countries. Farmers and Scientists will partner across the globe.
It aims to empower small- and women- farmers with science implementation.
It provides various major schemes. For more information, please visit Scheme’s section.
“Paulownia” is the fastest growing tree for precious hardwood on earth and absorbs 8-times more CO2 than any other tree! Ideal for commercial plantations, land reclamations, CSR & ESG Projects to achieve carbon neutrality.
As a part of the Government's focus on the development of programmes that aim to directly and positively impact people's lives rapidly, the Ministry of Science and Technology has been at the forefront in many of these initiatives. Two Farmer-Centric initiatives of this Ministry are Biotech-KISAN and Cattle Genomics.

Scientists work on problems that interest them. The world faces enormous challenges with large populations, diminishing resources and the consequences of climate change.
The problems faced by the Indian farmer are special, small land holdings are the norm, a very small number of livestock which is often the primary source of livelihood and 15 different agro climatic zones. Solutions developed in the lab, primarily in the developed world do not necessarily address the problems faced by the Indian farmer.
