Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV), Mohanpur, had the privilege of hosting Dr. S. N. Jha, former Deputy Director General (Engineering), ICAR, and President of the Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE), on 18 August 2026. His visit provided an important opportunity for meaningful interaction and discussion on the future of Agricultural Engineering and its growing role in transforming Indian agriculture.

’The programme was organised jointly by the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, BCKV and Kolkata Chapter of the Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE).The programme commenced with a warm welcome to the distinguished guest and participants by Prof. Subrata Karmakar, Dean, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, BCKV. A large number of members of ISAE, faculty and staff members, and students of BCKV were present on the occasion, making it a significant academic and professional gathering.

Dr. Jha delivered a highly insightful and inspiring special lecture, followed by an interactive session with the faculty members and students of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering. His motivational address greatly inspired the students and provided valuable guidance regarding their academic pursuits, professional development and future career opportunities.

During his address, Dr. Jha strongly emphasised the need to establish Directorates of Agricultural Engineering in all States of the country for the effective implementation and coordination of programmes and schemes related to farm mechanisation, water management and irrigation, agro-processing and post-harvest technology. Such institutional mechanisms, he observed, would help strengthen the integration of engineering innovations with agricultural development and ensure that the benefits of modern technologies reach farmers and other stakeholders more effectively.

The Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Ashok K. Patra, appreciated the efforts of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and the BCKV Chapter of ISAE in organising this important programme. In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor highlighted the enormous and expanding opportunities for Agricultural Engineering in the context of rapidly changing Indian agriculture. He emphasised that the discipline will play an increasingly important role in addressing the major challenges of the future, including farm labour scarcity, climate change, water scarcity, resource-use efficiency, precision agriculture, mechanisation, renewable energy, post-harvest management and value addition.

Agricultural Engineering today is not merely a supporting discipline but an essential driver of technological transformation and sustainable agricultural development. The convergence of engineering with agriculture, digital technologies, automation and environmental sustainability offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship and employment for the next generation of agricultural engineers.

BCKV remains committed to strengthening Agricultural Engineering education, research and innovation and to preparing skilled professionals who can contribute meaningfully to a modern, technology-driven, climate-resilient and sustainable agricultural future.

The visit and interaction of Dr. S. N. Jha will undoubtedly serve as a source of inspiration for the faculty, students and members of ISAE, while further strengthening BCKV’s commitment towards excellence in Agricultural Engineering and its application for the benefit of farmers and society. 🌾🚜💧⚙️

The Agro-Tourism Workshop-cum-Fair - "Prakritir Panthashala" (Nature's Retreat) was held on 6 August 2026 at B***r Pakhi, Jhargram, jointly organized by SAMETI-West Bengal, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Narendrapur, and the Extension Education Institute (NE Region), Government of India.

In today's rapidly urbanizing world, where millions live amidst concrete jungles, agro-tourism is more relevant than ever. Many young people have never experienced a paddy field, touched fertile soil, or witnessed the richness of an agro-ecosystem. Agro-tourism serves as a Nature's Living Classroom, offering firsthand experiences of agriculture, soils, biodiversity, water resources, ecosystem services, and rural livelihoods. It reconnects people with nature, nurtures environmental consciousness, and fosters a deeper appreciation for the farmers who sustain our nation.

Beyond its educational value, agro-tourism is emerging as a powerful catalyst for rural transformation and sustainable livelihoods. It diversifies farmers' income, promotes entrepreneurship, preserves local traditions, and creates employment opportunities for rural youth and women. By integrating agriculture with hospitality, local cuisine, handicrafts, and indigenous knowledge, it strengthens the rural economy while promoting sustainable resource management and responsible tourism.

The inaugural session was graced by Shri Rajesh Mahato, Hon'ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), Department of Animal Resources Development & Fisheries, Government of West Bengal; Dr. Ashok K. Patra, Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya; Shri Lakshmikanta Sahu, Hon'ble MLA; Dr. Sourendranath Das, Director, SAMETI-West Bengal; Dr. R. Bordoloi, Director, EEI-NER, AAU, Guwahati; Dr. Manabendra Roy, Director of Extension Education, BCKV; along with senior government officials, scientists, extension professionals, entrepreneurs, trainees, students, progressive farmers, and representatives from academia and industry.

The evening's captivating Putul Naach (Traditional Puppet Show) and soulful Baul Sangeet (Traditional Baul Folk Music) beautifully reflected the vibrant cultural heritage of rural Bengal, making the experience truly authentic and memorable. Our villages are not merely centres of agricultural production—they are living repositories of culture, biodiversity, ecological wisdom, and sustainable ways of life.

With its rich agricultural diversity, cultural heritage, and scenic landscapes, West Bengal has immense potential to emerge as one of India's leading agro-tourism destinations. Through strong partnerships among farmers, universities, government agencies, entrepreneurs, and local communities, agro-tourism can become a transformative model for sustainable rural development, environmental education, and inclusive economic growth. Agro-tourism is not merely about visiting farms—it is about reconnecting people with nature, understanding the foundations of our food systems, celebrating our rural heritage, and inspiring a more sustainable future.

The programme was addressed by the Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor, Dean, Students' Welfare, Dean, Faculty of Horticulture, NSS Coordinator, and the Brahma Kumari sisters, who underscored the vital role of youth in realising the vision of Viksit Bharat. They highlighted that a drug-free generation is fundamental to building a healthy, productive, and self-reliant nation.
A defining moment of the programme was the Drug-Free Nation Pledge, where students, faculty, and staff collectively resolved to remain free from substance abuse and to inspire others to embrace a life of health, responsibility, and purpose.
In recognition of BCKV's commitment to this national cause, the Brahma Kumaris presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor.
The enthusiastic participation of a large number of students reflected the growing awareness and determination among our youth to become ambassadors of positive change. At BCKV, we firmly believe that empowering young minds with values, knowledge, and responsibility is the foundation of a Viksit Bharat.
Together, let us pledge to build a Drug-Free Campus, Drug-Free Society, and Drug-Free India.
