griculture in India has come a long way from the

days of ‘ship to mouth’ to the days of ‘godowns

overowing with food grains’. There is a sort of

revolution taking place in agriculture technologies, farm

services, marketing, trade, contract farming, value chain,

IT application, global partnerships and market spread,

driven by the hard work of farmers, progressive

government policies, aggressive play by the agency and

institutions and the role of large corporates and the entry

of startups and new form of farm institutions. The role of

these stake-holders in driving the growth and value-

added transformation of India’s farm sector is

commendable. But, most of them do not get any

recognition for their contributions to the nation. Agriculture

Today, as an information provider and a knowledge-based

networking vehicle, has always been at the forefront in

contributing to the growth of the farm sector. Responding to the

need at the national level to recognise the contributions of

various stake-holders in agriculture, the magazine took a step

forward to reward and motivate individuals and organisations

for playing their leadership roles in agriculture. The institution

of Agriculture Leadership Awards in 2008 was the rst step in

this direction.The Awards are presented annually in di�erent

categories to individuals and organisations, who have made

outstanding contributions in their respective elds. The National

Awards Committee is headed by H.E Justice P. Sathasivam,

Hon’ble former Chief Justice of India, with a dozen persons of

national eminence as its members. The selection of awardees is

done through a two-tier system. The awards sub-committees

will be headed by a member of the national committee. All the

applications and nominations received by the Awards

Secretariat will be put up to the respective sub-committees,

which will in turn recommend names to the National

Committee for the nal selection. The awards function will be

held on 21st Oct, 2021 at the hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi. The

details can be visited at www.agriculturetoday.in. Kindly send

nominations/applications before 30th of Sept, 2021. Online

applications/nominations are preferred.

AWARDS CATEGORIES

Ÿ In order to maintain the sanctity and stature of these awards, thorough screening is done by the eminent experts. To make

the process more authentic, the awards committee also seeks informal views from a large number of people related

directly or indirectly with agriculture and verifies the claims of the applicants from the relevant sources.

Ÿ The selection of awardees will be made through a two-tier system. The award sub-committees, headed by a member of

the national committee, will screen and recommend to the National Committee for nalising the names.

Ÿ All the applications and nominations received shall be screened to ensure that they satisfy all the conditions laid down by

the Awards Secretariat. These will then be put up to the respective sub-committees.

Ÿ The second stage will be the circulation of the entries by the sub-committees, which will evaluate the entries based on

agreed parameters and recommend three names for each award to the national committee for the nal selection.

Ÿ Based on the feedback received, the national committee will make a list of the winning entries in each category. The high

standard set for the awards in the previous years will be maintained. The applicants and sponsors may therefore check

the level of contributions made by the winners of previous Agriculture Leadership Awards, before sending or sponsoring

nominations.
