Address by the Chairperson on the occasion of the First FAS Annual Public Lecture
I am indeed honoured to have this opportunity to make an intervention on the occasion of the public lecture by Dr M. S. Swaminathan. I am an activist of the All India Kisan Sabha, the oldest and the largest peasant organization in the country. The All India Kisan Sabha, since its inception in 1936 onwards, has consistently argued in favour of using advancements in science and technology to increase agricultural production and productivity.
