Prakriti - An Agri and Food innovation fest by the students of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, targets the amalgamation of academia and industry associated with the agricultural and food sector. Prakriti aims to provide a conduit for budding innovators and scholars from institutes across the country to interact with each other and the industry, citing a more practical aspect to technical education acquired on the academic front and at the same time, aiding enterprises to exploit the technological achievements for their own benefit.Prakriti, as the name and theme of the fest suggests, brings you closer to nature and aims to open new realms of knowledge in the field of agriculture. This Agri and Food Innovation Fest is one of its kind, being held on the landmarks of IIT Kharagpur, where the oldest and one of the most reputed IIT stands today.With its inception in previous years, Prakriti has pioneered the cause of organizing an Agri and Food Innovation Fest at a national level. The previous four editions of Prakriti saw a huge participation from both the academic and the industrial front. Association with renowned companies like ITC, HUL, Tea Board Of India, PEPSICO India, Coca Cola, Tetra Pak, John Deere, New Holland, Seimens, AFCL etc, contributed significantly in catalyzing its success and helped it achieve greater heights. This year, we hope to make the fest bigger and better by extending our heartiest welcome to many more agro-based institutions and enterprises, and coalesce it with the concept of sustainability.In a world of growing complexity and dwindling resources, the relationship between technology and sustainability is a pressing issue of concern at the highest of levels. Prakriti '21 aspires to create a platform for discussion of existing research directions and advancement of our understanding of the people-technology-governance nexus along with its implications for sustainability.
