First Kerala Children’s Agriculture Science Congress
2010 January 22- 23
Public Library Hall, Thiruvananthapuram

Agriculture as a profession and as a means of life is fast disappearing from the present day youngsters. The situation is so alarming that many of the youngsters are ignorant about the common crops of the region and the culture associated with it. It is in this context that CISSA in association with Agrifriends and Indian Agricultural Association is organizing the first Bala Krishi Sasthra Congress so as to create a community having interest in Agriculture and related activities. It is hoped this will help in creating a group of students having interest in the field of Agriculture leading to food security.

Selected research projects, findings and field experiments of students from schools of Kerala will be presented at the congress. The congress is organized with the active support and participation of the different scientific and cultural organizations on January 22-23rd at the Trivandrum Public Library Hall.
