Transforming Indian agriculture requires more than just policy; it requires a powerful connection of the dots between the public and private sectors. We are thrilled to have concluded our stakeholder interaction on “Exploring Collaborations on Public Private Partnership in Agri Value Chain Development (PPPAVCD)” held on May 4th at FICCI, New Delhi.

A heartfelt thank you to our distinguished speakers who provided the vision and evidence for this transition:

Shri Anbalagan P. (Joint Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare) for his leadership and inaugural address on the future of AIF and investments.

Dr. Dr. Sudhir Kumar Goel (Former Addl. Chief Secretary, Government of Maharashtra (GoM)) for sharing the foundational “Goel Doctrine” and quantitative success of the Maharashtra pilot.

Shri Bharat Kumar Bali Bali (Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare) for detailing the operational mechanics and the “Umbrella Convergence” framework.

Ms. Rina Soni (Heifer International) for showcasing the incredible results in Koraput, Odisha proving that value chains rooted in communities and powered by women are the most resilient.

Rashida Husaini (Kheyti) for demonstrating how ultra-low-cost technology can achieve 100% implementation in just 125 days.
