Dev Bhoomi Krishi Kumbh 2026, being organized by the School of Agriculture, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University from 23rd to 24th February 2026, is envisioned as a comprehensive agricultural festival and outreach programme aimed at promoting innovation, sustainability, and farmer–student–industry interaction. The two-day event will bring together agriculture students, academicians, researchers, agri-entrepreneurs, startups, and farmers from different Gram Panchayats of Dehradun, creating a common platform for knowledge sharing and experiential learning. The Krishi Kumbh will feature a wide range of activities including food stalls highlighting local and traditional agricultural produce, exhibition stalls showcasing modern agricultural technologies, tools, value-added products, and innovative practices, as well as a poster presentation competition that will encourage students to present research findings and creative ideas related to agriculture and rural development. A key highlight of the event will be the Ideathon (startup models), designed to foster entrepreneurial thinking among students by encouraging them to develop practical, farmer-centric solutions for real-world agricultural challenges. By actively involving farmers, the event aims to enhance awareness about improved farming practices, sustainable technologies, and income-generating opportunities, while also allowing students to understand grassroots issues directly from the farming community. Overall, Dev Bhoomi Krishi Kumbh 2026 seeks to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and field realities, strengthen community engagement, and contribute to inclusive and sustainable agricultural development in the region.
