Feeling incredibly proud to have successfully participated in the *First Ever National Seminar cm Exhibition on Makhana and Allied Aquatic Crops (NRCM-NASMAC 2024)* at ICAR-National Research Centre for Makhana, Darbhanga! It was a privilege to be a part of such a significant event, organized under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble DDG, ICAR, Dr. S.N. Jha Sir, and Hon’ble Director, Dr. Nachiket Kotwaliwale Sir.
The event highlighted the global potential of Makhana and allied aquatic crops, emphasizing their economic, nutritional, medicinal, and industrial significance. With over 150 scientists and experts, more than 500 farmers and entrepreneurs, and 30 exhibitors from across the country, the experience was immensely enriching.
I am thankful to the entire organizing team for this opportunity and especially grateful to the event's co-organizers, *CIPHET, Ludhiana* and *Darbhanga College of Engineering*, for their valuable contributions. The insights shared by dignitaries like Shri Hari Sahni jee (Minister), Dr. Gopal Jee Thakur jee (Member of Parliament), and Dr. Dharamshila Gupta Jee (Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha) were truly inspiring.
A heartfelt thank you to all the organizers, sponsors, and volunteers who made this seminar such a grand success. I’m thrilled to have received a certificate of completion and look forward to applying the knowledge gained for the advancement of this critical field!
