Abhinavakrishi Research Organisation Sambalpur is a non-profit agricultural research organization registered as per the Indian Trust Act of 1882 dated 28/12/20 under Sub Register office, Sambalpur.
India is a nation where more than 60% of the population relies on agriculture for their livelihood. Over 70% of the rural population depends on agriculture as their primary source of income. However, among the farming community, more than 85% are small and marginal farmers who own less than 2 hectares of land each and collectively control less than 48% of the total agricultural land. These farmers are the backbone of our country, yet they face the most significant challenges and hardships.
Several systemic issues contribute to their struggles. To address these challenges and bring about positive change, a group of highly motivated youths from agricultural backgrounds came together in 2014 to establish a visionary initiative called “Innovative Agriculture” This initiative laid the foundation for the “Abhinavakrishi Research Organisation,” which was officially registered as a social organization under the Indian Trust Act in December , 2020.
Our team comprises dedicated agricultural researchers, progressive farmers, agriculture students, media professionals, and individuals from the social service sector. Together, we are united by a single purpose: to transform the lives of farmers through innovative, sustainable, and holistic farming practices.
Our core mission is to bring happiness and smiles to the faces of our farmers by empowering them with resources, knowledge, and techniques that enhance their productivity and quality of life. We aim to make farming a rewarding and sustainable endeavour for those who toil relentlessly for the nation’s food security.
At the heart of our philosophy lies the age-old wisdom:
“Uttam Kheti Madhyam Ban Adham Chakri Bheekh Nidhan”
(Farming is the most noble profession, followed by trade; employment comes after, and begging is the least desirable.).
Through Abhinavakrishi, we strive to uphold this sentiment by elevating agriculture to its rightful stature and ensuring that our farmers receive the dignity and prosperity they deserve.
