Inauguration of NE India’s 1st Phytotron Facility @dbtnecab @AAU17 funded by @DBTIndia on National Science Day. Congratulations to @DrBidyutKrSarm1 Sir and team for this milestone!

The villages at the foothills of Gabharu Parbat, Jorhat, were known for their horticultural production. Since the last couple of years, insect pests have frequented their fields even in winters. We organised a workshop on application of biopesticides funded by the DBT, GoI.

The DBT-NECAB is reaching out to farmers through its Biopesticide Programme for the promotion of Organic Agriculture.

Thirty women farmers in the remote village of Bijoy Sapori, Majuli are being trained on integrated farming for climate resilience. The NGO Kristir Kothia has organised the 10-day programme with DBT-NECAB towards the goals of AdaptNET.
