the role of these technologies in promoting sustainable agriculture. The Conference will provide a platform for researchers, policymakers, and industry experts to share
their knowledge and experiences in the field of agriculture. The Conference will help in identifying new opportunities for research and development in the field of agriculture.
It will also help in identifying new ways to promote sustainable agriculture practices that are equitable and beneficial for all stakeholders involved. Overall,
the Conference is an important step towards promoting sustainable agriculture practices that are essential for the future of our planet.
India is proud of its heritage eminent statisticians who contributed significantly to the welfare of the humanity in India and abroad.

The Society publishes "Journal of the Indian Society of Agricultural Statistics" with ISSN 0019-6363 which serves as vehicle for the researchers in statistical sciences to disseminate their research work aimed at overall development of agriculture in the country. This is a unique journal that encourages applied research in Statistics with applications focussed at enhancing the quality of agricultural research.
