BASAI had the privilege of attending a Dinner Reception hosted by H.E. Mr. Reuven Azar, Ambassador of Israel, in honor of H.E. Mr. Avi Dicter, Israel’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, on April 8th. The evening featured enriching discussions on enhancing Indo-Israel cooperation in biological agri-inputs, protective technology, and stewardship. Interactions with the Embassy staff on promoting trade and allied activities were encouraging. It was insightful meeting Shri PP Chaudhary Ji and Shri Shekhar Gupta Ji to discuss agricultural biotechnology. A pleasant surprise was reconnecting with NLU batchmate Apurv Kumar Mishra. Grateful to Ambassador Azar and his wife for their warm hospitality.
BASAI visited the office of the principal scientific adviser to the government of India on dated 25.04.24
BASAI discussed opportunities within the Waste to Energy vertical of the PSA which ended up in production of biological end products being produced out of green/biological waste/biomass created out of the municipal/independent source level:
- Utilization of Biomass/Waste material of biological nature.
- Biological solutions applications on the field towards resolving the agri-waste material generated post-harvest e.g. paddy & wheat straw.
- Biological solutions towards tackling wet waste in independent house/societal level in a convenient odorless way so as to produce end use products as manure, etc.
- Concept Note (CN) on integration of a single legislation and regulatory mechanism to address the complex and inter-related display of properties of biologicals across various categories of use.
- Formation of a separate Agri-input vertical within the PSA work scope.
