At the 59th session ceremony of the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), a total of 1,271 candidates received bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, providing over 150 gold medals to 63 students and held on Thursday, May 15, 2025.

We Awasthi, Managing Director of IFFCO, New Delhi, said: “In India, 90% of soils are deficient in nitrogen in 27 states, 85% of soils lack adequate organic carbon and a significant proportion of lack of phosphorus, phosphorus, potassium, potassium, Zink, Zink, Iron and Sulfortion-nudnut-defiend-defiend facivierfiend prectrecied torke versport predicted of trace torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne torne

He said the unselective use of agrochemicals has caused the accumulation of toxic residues and heavy metals. He added: “The healthy soil that once filled with life is now losing its fertility, productivity and resilience.”

“Decades of excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have resulted in a sharp decline in soil organic matter. Modern agricultural practices often rely heavily on synthetic inputs, resulting in residues in the final product. These residues pose health risks to consumers, but also affect the export of agricultural commodities due to strict international safety standards.”

Awasthi said of adopting technology that traditional agriculture is based on ancient practices and depends on the experience of farmers and the surrounding natural forces. But the world has changed. Today, our population is growing, natural resources are shrinking, and climate change is knocking on the door. “So we need smarter ways to feed our world without damaging the ecosystem. Precise agricultural technology helps make better decisions at every step,” he said.

With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), images of drones and cameras were analyzed by themselves to detect early signs of plant stress. Not only does AI detect problems, it can even come up with better solutions. tiny devices placed in the soil or on plants or constantly measuring nutrients, nutrient levels, which means drinking water.

Karnataka Governor and University President Thawarchand Gehlot said: “Currently, we are facing challenges such as global warming, water crisis, water and soil degradation, excessive use of pesticides and the financial difficulties of farmers. In this case, the role of agricultural graduates, agricultural scientists and policy makers lead in India. The agricultural sector needs to promote new options to meet the current demand for agricultural production.

“The state government highlights integrated agriculture, AI-based food parks, AI-based digital agriculture, re-extension of agricultural climate regions in the recent state budgets,” said N. Cheluvarayaswamy, Minister of Agriculture and Head President of the University. For micro-training, subsidies of 90% of subsidies using numerous wages. Agricultural technology is also given priority in 2025.”
