INVITATION
th
The 20 Century witnessed an outstanding and unprecedented scientific and
technological development in all fields ranging from agriculture to industry and further to
information technology. This progress has virtually transformed human life in terms of
prosperity and higher standard of living for a section of population of the world. Yet, the paradox
before us is the stark reality that large segment of humanity is still trapped in hunger and
poverty. In view of this, 'First Millennium Development Goal' is related to eradication of extreme
poverty and hunger. Of the current population of 6.2 billion, 1.0 billion are living below poverty
line, majority of which are suffering from malnutrition, mainly in Asia and Pacific region. This
problem is bound to accentuate further with the increase in population to 8.0 billion by 2020,
most of that increase will occur in the developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. So
to achieve the “First Millennium Development Goal”, new innovations in agriculture have to
play a very important role by counteracting the problems of decline in the factor productivity, soil
health and water availability, increasing incidences of diseases and pests and emerging
challenges of climate change. Our natural resources will be at increasing risk from soil
degradation, deforestation, contamination, biodiversity losses and population pressure.
Under these circumstances, the 'Agronomy' which uses the knowledge and findings of other
disciplines of agriculture and basic sciences and translates them into innovative technologies
for the use of farmers, has to play an important role. The Third International Agronomy
Congress is being organized by the Indian Society of Agronomy with the primary motive of
taking stock of 'Technology Capital' available to address the issues of “Agriculture
Diversification, Climate Change Management and Livelihoods” and draw future research
strategies to address the emerging matrix of agriculture problems in holistic manner.
Indian Society of Agronomy has the history of organizing 3 successful International and
20 National Conventions, which ended with sound recommendations for solving the problems
of food and nutritional security. We are expecting about 1,000 delegates around the globe. It is
our hope that they will play pro-active and decisive role in shaping the future global agronomic
research aiming to look for a world, where every person has the economic and physical access
to supplement food for all times along with environmental security.
We consider it our privilege to extend you a warm invitation for your active participation in
the Congress to accomplish its objectives.
Looking forward to meet you in the Congress at Delhi.
Dr S. Ayyappan
Chairman, Board of Governors of Congress and
Secretary, (DARE), and DG, ICAR, New Delhi
Dr Arvind Kumar
President, Indian Society of Agronomy
and DDG (Edu.) ICAR , New Delhi

ABOUT DELHI: New Delhi, being the capital of India, is a cosmopolitan city. Delhi abounds in relics and remains a
glorious reminder of the past. Few cities in the world can claim the long continuity and status that Delhi has
enjoyed. Its history goes a long way to the time of Mahabharata as Indraprastha, the capital of Pandavas. Among
the dynasties that laid claim to Delhi were the Tomar Rajputs (9th or 10th century) and the Chauhan Rajputs (12th
century). With the defeat of Prithviraj, the Chauhan leader, in the hands of the Muslims towards the end of the 12th
century, Delhi became the capital of Pathan Sultans and eventually of the Mughals. During the British rule for 200
years, the country came under unified control; Calcutta became the capital but move back to Delhi in 1911. Since
then, Delhi as retained its position as the seat of governance. Delhi is India's melting pot, dream and has absorbed,
over the centuries settlers and visitors from across the globe. Exploring the city can be a fascinating and
rewarding experience.
Major tourist attractions of Delhi are Red Fort, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Parliament House, Jantar
Mantar, Jama Masjid, Raj Ghat, Lakshmi Narayan Temple, Humayun's Tomb, Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar,
Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Lodi Gardens, Akshardham Temple and Chattarpur Temple. Congress dates
also coincide with the International Trade Fair, which is an annual event from 14–28 November.

seven wonders of the modern world, is located. About 260 km southwest of Delhi is located the city of Jaipur. The
glory of the various kings is beautifully reflected in the magnificence of its palaces.
The famous Tiger Reserve “The Corbett National Park” is about 6 hours drive from Delhi. The park is
located in the midst of the hills of Kumaon and provides a unique experience of Elephant Safari. For bird watchers,
