The “Biotech-Krishi Innovation Science Application Network (Biotech-KISAN)–a mission programme of Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India, New Delhi aims to establish Biotech hubs across India. The Key focus is transferring science and technological innovations for managing problems in agricultural activities, soil health, building leadership and entrepreneurship skills to promote sustainable models for agri-business and agro-value chain development. It is a Pan-India program, follows a hub and spoke model and stimulates entrepreneurship and innovation among farmers, particularly women farmers.
MSSRF has been granted a project to establish a Biotech KISAN hub in the aspirational districts of Eastern plateau and hills in Odisha and Western Ghats in Kerala with a focus to improving farming practices, sustainable use of soil and water and to create access to rural processing technologies, value addition and markets.
The hub creates a platform for knowledge sharing between farmers and scientist to address location-specific problems in partnership with collaborating institutions and also organizing fellowship programmes for farmers (including special fellowships for women farmers) in the form of Farmers’ Training/workshop/awareness programme/Kisan melas etc.
