Poultry major Venkateshwara Group's poultry farming model has received appreciation from the World Agricultural Forum's (WAF) World Agri Congress 2005 held at Missouri, US, last month.
The group's development model of 'science, service and support for sustainability' in poultry for small and marginal farm holdings was presented by its Chief Executive Officer, O P Singh, at the fourth World Agri Congress (WAF). Over 300 leaders from government, non-governmental/ inter-governmental organisations, besides corporate and academic communities, participated in the congress. The topics covered at the meet included food security and global peace through integration of local, regional and global markets, market-driven agri-food system, technology transfer for growth and rural development, international agreements.
Singh appraised WAF on the group's poultry development model of its indigenous research, forward or backward integration and empowerment of the farmers through poultry.
According to a communication from the group, the WAF was a platform where the role played by the group's poultry diagnostics and research centre with its technical service centres located over 100 poultry pockets in monitoring the poultry disease control, the activities of Dr B V Rao Institute of Poultry Management and Technology, and their price stabilisation roles were explained.
