AJAI
Agriculture Journalist Association of India (AJAI) is a national-level forum that works with a vision to promote the highest standards amongst the communicators including journalists and photographers, who have dedicated their lives and works to farming, dairy, horticulture, fisheries, floriculture, food production or rural affairs, in essence - anything to do with the agriculture sector. AJAI is all set to work as a one-stop platform to address the varied issues of Agri Journalism. The association will also work towards knitting the industry together by organizing seminars, talks, workshops, and events for its honorable members and creating opportunities to interact with the eminent personalities of the industry.
Message from the President
“I have always believed that agriculture has been the backbone of our Indian economy. Having said that, it is equally significant and quite apparent that the sector is plagued by numerous issues that go unseen by the authorities concerned. Undoubtedly, the Indian agriculture sector is in dire need of proper consideration from the media to not only address the matters of the farming community but also deliver them right onto the tables of the decision-making authorities. Regrettably, the nation does lack a dedicated media journalists’ association that works solely for the agriculture sector. This is where ‘Agriculture Journalist Association of India (AJAI),’ our committed initiative, comes into the picture to fill the vacuum. Dime a dozen times I have come across a very common complaint of farmers - their voice doesn’t reach the people in power, the ones in the authority who could actually bring a change in the industry. Why? And that's the reason AJAI was established with an aim that we must bear the responsibility of making farmers’ voices heard and their demands fulfilled as agri-journalists. After all, at least as humans, we have a long-standing obligation towards the hands that feed us. Don't you agree?"
