Dr. Pranab Hazra, Retired Professor, Department of Vegetable Science, Faculty of Horticulture, BCKV, served as the esteemed resource person. Drawing from his decades of experience, he highlighted how emerging technologies like drones, AI-based soil analysis, and climate-smart practices can be integrated with age-old wisdom in seed preservation, intercropping, and pest management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session was intellectually enriching and inspired young minds to rethink agricultural innovation beyond mere mechanisation, embracing tradition while advancing toward the future. The event was specifically tailored for students of Biotechnology and Agriculture, who actively participated and contributed to the dynamic Q&amp;A session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-94bc23d7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-zero-hunger.webp\" alt=\"SDG-02\" class=\"wp-image-152\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-health-weelbeing.webp\" alt=\"SDG-03\" class=\"wp-image-153\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4-quality-education.webp\" alt=\"Quality Education\" class=\"wp-image-154\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/9-industry-infrastructure.webp\" alt=\"SDG-09\" class=\"wp-image-158\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/12-responsible-consumption.webp\" alt=\"SDG-12\" class=\"wp-image-161\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Agriculture-Modern Technology Needs to be Dovetailed with Traditional Knowledge Systems (IKS)Biotechnology2-5-2025 The Department of Biotechnology, in collaboration with IQAC and the Institution\u2019s Innovation Council, successfully organised a seminar on \u2018Indian Agriculture: Bridging the Gap \u2013 Merging Modern Agri-Tech with Traditional Knowledge\u2019.
