- In order to promote potential technology solutions for enhancing farm mechanization with special emphasis on women friendly equipments, a hackathon named “KRITAGYA” has been planned by
- the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)
- Under National Agricultural Higher Education Project (NAHEP).
- Students, faculties and innovators/entrepreneurs from any university / technical institution across the country can apply and participate in the event in the form of a group.
- In view of increasing women participation in the field operations mainly due to migration of men for better prospects in non-farm opportunities,
- the ICAR has felt it necessary to organise this event with
- the overall aim to enhance automation and mechanization
- To increase the farm productivity and profitability and also to reduce the drudgery.
- The ICAR commenced NAHEP, a Government of India and World Bank project, in November 2017 with the overall objective to support the National Agricultural Research and Education System in providing more relevant and better quality education to the students.
