Pusa Krishi Vigyan Mela 2026 will be held from 25 to 27 February 2026 at the Pusa Mela Ground in New Delhi. Organised by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), this three-day event will be based on the theme “Developed Agriculture – Self-Reliant India.” The fair will highlight key areas such as digital farming, climate-resilient agriculture, Pusa seed varieties, women farmer entrepreneurship, and agri-startups, making it a major platform for innovation in Indian agriculture.
The Pusa Krishi Vigyan Mela is often seen as a celebration for Indian farmers. It brings together farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, students, and agricultural experts from across the country on one common platform.
This year’s edition is also being viewed as an important step toward promoting modern technology, scientific farming practices, and better market awareness. The event is especially beneficial for those who want to turn farming into a profitable and sustainable business, rather than just a source of livelihood.
One of the key highlights of this year’s fair is that it is dedicated to the “International Women Farmers Year.” Women play a crucial role in agriculture, yet their contributions often do not receive the recognition they deserve. To address this, the fair will feature special programmes on Entrepreneurship Development for women farmers and young participants. The aim is to provide them with modern skills, market understanding, and business training, enabling them to become self-reliant and start their own small or large agriculture-based enterprises.
The fair will explain concepts like Digital Agriculture and Climate-Resilient Agriculture in a farmer-friendly way. With changing weather patterns increasing farming risks, participants will learn about crop options and technologies that can deliver better yields even under low water availability, high temperatures, or unpredictable climate conditions.
Live demonstrations will also show how modern techniques can help farmers save fertilisers, water, and seeds. Through digital tools, farmers will also be able to access more accurate weather updates and market price information from home.
For farmers looking for quality seeds, the fair offers an excellent opportunity. Visitors will be able to purchase certified and improved Pusa seed varieties, along with live crop demonstrations showcasing standing crops in real field conditions. This will help farmers decide which seed varieties are best suited for their soil type and local climate.
Complete Guidance on Schemes, Marketing and Startups:
The event will also provide useful information on government schemes, agricultural marketing strategies, and how to start an agri-startup. Farmers will receive guidance on how they can benefit through Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) by working together to sell their produce at better prices.
A One-Stop Destination for Agricultural Innovation:
Overall, the Pusa Krishi Vigyan Mela can be seen as a true one-stop destination for farmers and agri-entrepreneurs looking to explore new opportunities. Whether it is buying new seeds, learning about modern machines, or directly interacting with agricultural experts, everything will be available under one roof. Starting 25 February, this three-day event has the potential to shape the future direction of Indian farming. Farmers are encouraged to mark the dates and be a part of this important agricultural gathering.
