Welcom to Bihar Brand " jai B "

Message of Hon'ble Chief Minister

Eastern India is standing on the threshold of 2nd Green Revolution and there is no doubt that Bihar because of its distinct advantages of fertile land, water availability, hard working young work force and ability to adapt to modern techniques, would be leading it. The first Green Revolution in the Long run proven to be ecological unsustainable. Therefore it is not necessary that the methods and approach of the 1st green revolution would hold ground in the eastern region. Now, different methods and policies would have to be adopted to achieve the twin objectives of productivity enhancement and medium environment damage. For this, organic farming is a productive system that sustain the soil health, ecosystem and people. This farming system perspective must integrate location-specific improved technologies and enterprise. This will be an appropriate approach to achieve the goals of food security as well as sustainable Agriculture.
I am happy to note that department of agriculture in collaboration with ICA Research Complex for Eastern Region decided to invite stakeholders from across the world to popularize organic farming in the state by organizing three days "International Conference on Organic Bihar at Patna from June 22-24, 2011. I hope that the strategies worked out in this conference will be helpful in preparing the blue print of organic farming for the state. It is our dream that every Indian kitchen should have at least one agro-product from Bihar and I hope this International conference will help realize our dream.
I convey my best wishes for successful organization of this conference.
Sri Nitish Kumar
Hon'ble Chief Minister, Bihar
