He introduced about ASPEE Agricultural Research and Development Foundation and highlighted the various activities they carry out through the foundation. Kiran Patel suggested that agriculture universities should introduce some short-term courses to improve the English language of the students coming from vernacular languages so that their English is improved and also tress more on practical knowledge in agriculture by making students cultivate some crops in a small piece of land at universities and also send them to stay with progressive farmers and learn more in cultivation. The suggestion given by Patel was appreciated by the participants.

Battery sprayers, mechanised farm equipment, Knapsack power sprayers, portable power sprayers, agricultural mistbowlers & dusters, ULV sprayers, fogging machines, etc. are just a few of ASPEE's cutting-edge goods.
