PanIIT is going to be held in Chennai. An important part of the event is the Rural Transformation sessions and trips. The details are given in the following two links.
Members may please go through the contents of the two links and build an opinion as to the success of the proposed Rural Transformation programmes. I say this because a lot of bluff is going into such proposals when the system does not provide a simple soil testing kit for the whole of a district anywhere in India. Recommendations are made to use Bio fertilisers based on probably cooked up data from some foreign countries and without testing or making a study on the ground in India.
