The School of Agriculture, organized an insightful seminar in collaboration with the Insurance Institute of India and Kolkata Insurance Institute.

The seminar on “Role of Insurance as an Ethical Agricultural Insurance Intermediary” emphasized the critical role of insurance in safeguarding farmers, promoting ethical practices, and ensuring sustainability in agriculture.

We were privileged to have Mr. Angshuman Roy and Dr. Milan Chakraborty as speakers, who shared valuable knowledge on agricultural risk management and the future of insurance in farming systems.
Such initiatives strengthen the connection between agriculture and financial security, paving the way for a more resilient farming community.
