Indian agriculture has registered spectacular progress in the past as a result of multifarious approaches centred around strategies such as (i) generation and dissemination of agricultural technologies (ii) development of network of agricultural institutions and (iii) periodical policy interventions. Today, Indian agriculture is vibrant, buoyant and resilient due to radical changes brought through a number of mission oriented, area specific and target group specific programmes and a series of reforms.

The forthcoming congress themes intend to motivate the public movement through awareness on the empowerment of rural livelihood security by reorienting agriculture extension system and desired breakthrough in view of the stagnation of agriculture production. Optimal utilization of available water and land resources in order to boost up diversified integrated farming approach, which has not been given desired priority in the past. Mitigation of drought and desertification for providing better livelihood opportunities and alleviation of poverty require special agenda for continuous land degradation and deforestation. Similarly the time has come when the advanced agricultural perspective needs to be planned systematically through the intensive use of appropriate information and communication technology.
Keeping in view of above aspect, the following sub-themes have been chosen for deliberation:

1. Empowerment of rural livelihood security.
2. Reorienting Agricultural Extension in view of stagnation in production and productivity.
3. Strategy for optimal utilization of available water and land resources for diversified integrated farming.
4. Creating Public Awareness on mitigation of Drought and Desertification.
5. Advanced Agricultural perspective through information and Communication Technology.
