Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025


Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan led the Ministry of Agriculture to start the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025, which is a big project.

This Government agricultural awareness campaign, which is scheduled to take place from May 29 to June 12, 2025, is designed to reach more than 1-1.5 crore farmers in 700 districts throughout India.

It is especially important in the context of the kharif season awareness campaign, as the sowing period for key crops begins during this time.

What is Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025?

The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025 is a pan-India campaign that focuses on spreading awareness about modern farming practices, climate-resilient agriculture, and the use of new seed varieties. 

The main objective is to ensure that critical information and technologies reach farmers in time for the kharif season.

Each day, over 2,000 dedicated teams — consisting of farm scientists in India, agriculture officials, and progressive farmers — will conduct three meetings per district to educate farmers about farming innovations and government initiatives.

Viksit Krishi Campaign Objectives

The Viksit Krishi campaign objectives include:

  • Spreading awareness of climate-resilient seed varieties

  • Sharing monsoon forecasts for farmers to aid in timely sowing

  • Promoting the proper use of fertilizer subsidy schemes

  • Using soil health cards to improve understanding of soil health management

  • Informing about Government farming schemes and MSP policies

  • Bridging the gap between lab-based research and field-level practices

  • Boosting crop productivity through best practices

These objectives aim to address challenges like low crop productivity, uneven yield across states, and poor adoption of agricultural reforms in India.

Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan Registration

While the campaign is largely physical and community-driven, some states may offer digital platforms or portals for Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan registration. 

Farmers are encouraged to contact local agriculture offices or visit the official website of the Agriculture Ministry for updates.

Importance of Farm Technology Awareness Drive in India

The farm technology awareness drive in India is a key component of this initiative. Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has emphasized that lab research and technological developments must quickly reach farmers. These include:

  • Drought and flood-resistant seed varieties

  • Modern irrigation techniques

  • Smart fertilization practices

  • Access to real-time weather data and crop advisory tools

Such measures can significantly improve agricultural extension services and ensure India’s farmers are well-prepared for climate-related challenges.

Why It Matters for India’s Agriculture Sector

The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025 is not just a short-term awareness event. It aligns with long-term goals like:

  • Achieving self-sufficiency in food grain production

  • Reducing input costs for farmers

  • Increasing procurement at the Minimum Support Price (MSP)

  • Encouraging sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture

  • Promoting agricultural reforms in India 2025

India’s agricultural productivity still lags behind global averages. Through this campaign, the government is taking steps to bridge interstate productivity gaps and move toward global benchmarks.
