Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver the plenary address at the Kisan Tak Bharat Agriculture Conference 2026, scheduled for November 11-12 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
Organised by the India Today Group, the two-day conference will bring together farmers, policymakers, diplomats, industry leaders and agricultural scientists to discuss the future of Indian agriculture.
Presented by Mahindra Tractors, the event will follow the theme ‘Smart Kisan, Viksit Bharat’.
Around 2,000 farmers from across the country will participate in discussions on agricultural growth, technology and climate resilience.
The conference will highlight emerging technologies, including precision farming, artificial intelligence-based resource management and climate-resilient crop varieties. It will further showcase farmers and women entrepreneurs who combine traditional knowledge with modern agricultural practices to improve rural livelihoods.
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Health and Chemicals Minister JP Nadda, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Food Processing Industries Minister Chirag Paswan will attend the event.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will also participate.
The conference comes as agriculture continues to employ around 46 per cent of India’s workforce.
According to the Economic Survey 2025-26, the country recorded foodgrain production of 357.73 million tonnes.
Discussions will explore ways to improve farmers’ incomes, strengthen supply chains and expand agricultural exports.
India Today Group Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Aroon Purie said the conference would connect farmers’ experiences with global science, policy and industry.
Vice Chairperson and Executive Editor-in-Chief Kalli Purie said the platform would bring grassroots agricultural innovations into wider national and international discussions.
The programme will feature success stories from around 20 farmers and performances by folk singers celebrating rural India’s cultural traditions.
