One of the major highlights of the event was the felicitation ceremony, which was conducted to honour some of the progressive farmers, agriculture-related personnel, scientists, and journalists by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra. They were awarded for their relentless work in the development of agriculture, innovation, and spreading awareness about various aspects of farming and rural development.
