 My name is Rajaswami, I am working as an agricultural economist in India, I am based in Odisha, it is an eastern Indian state. Here I am going to speak how the story, how I have influenced the decision makers to invest on feed and fodder, like generally in India, I don't know about the world, most of the veterinary they don't keep an importance to feed and fodder, they just discuss about the health or health or any others, they just live in the feed and fodder, which is the feed and fodder constitute more than 70% of the livestock rearing. Let me tell my background, I come from a farming background, we had around 4 cattle and 5 acres of land, when I was a student I used to support my parents for farming, I know everything I can do, and I remember that when I was a 9th standard, my father was a teacher and my mother was a housewife, my father didn't get salary for 9 months due to their crisis, financial crisis, and in that time we had all the dairy farmers the only option for us to support our education. What my mother did, she used to process the mill and sell the cheese in the market, and that I remember in that time we had to earn more than 2 US dollars, and due to this dairy farming they could always support us for our education, and that time my father also support my parents, my mother to selling milk and buying the feed, and in that time I realized that life doesn't matter, it has more importance for improving the life. And I thought in future it will get chance and definitely I will work on the life of sector. Firstly when I was doing my PhD in agriculture economics, I joined in injury, and from that time, but I must say here, initially period I was not liking injury, the work because always they are sending to field to collect primary data or to discuss with the farmers, and I had a notion during my PhD everybody thought you have to publish in international journals, you should have high impact paper, so I had a notion if I work in international organization I will get more research papers, so I can get more exposure. I didn't thought about though there is more scope in working the field. In the course of time I have come from different farmers, different regions, like not only India, Bangladesh and also Africa, that has opened my eyes. And I remember one woman farmer is very hard working, that has inspired me, and that has changed my mind that the way of doing research for publication only. What I have done from him also, I have seen that woman also he is very hard working, doing different kind of farming like fishing, diving and also other activity to support their children's education. And she inspired me, I have seen she inspired me to work more hard in the rural area to support the poor farmers, poor dairy farmers who doesn't have knowledge on better lifestyle management. And from that period I thought it can happen only the good partnership, not only working in the office or I am talking in one person. It can happen only the partnership. From that point of time me and my colleagues have started hard working to influence, to build a relation with the different stakeholders particularly, government institution like Director of Veterinary or any other departments. And in the course of time we have organized one workshop to present our research outcome, what we have done in the initial period and where the government, there are some agriculture minister, chief secretary of that department also they attend that meeting. And after two days of meeting the chief secretary they called me and asked us can you develop my proposal to expand these activities to other part of the state? Then it was the proudest moment for me because the outcome of the research or the field activities what we have done, now the government is realizing that really this has done the good work. And they have decided to fund us around one million US dollar. And for a state government it's the first of the injury to work with a state government and getting the fund from the state government. And particularly I remember that period, the second the minister they told us we like the injury team in India the way they work with the community of the dairy farmer. So what we have done, that project is going on like a feed and fodder and it's in third year and I must say here that during this two year we have influenced the government to use to include our this technology like what we have feed and fodder like new variety of fodder or a new feeding technology in their state plan scheme. I must say here that the Indian government they have some different schemes and they give subsidies to dissimilar this technology. And the government has targeted like yesterday Michael was telling sorry was asking me that can you go for a scale like one million or one crore I must say that the government has agreed to disseminate this technology to more than one million farmers in Odisha and in a few course of time like within five years. And I must say that this is I have done something different and I feel proud that working in Ilri and Ilri has helped me to do something and what I have thought during my school period. And I must say here that I feel happy and I feel proud that I have done something my rural way from my rural farmers. And I have and I love to work in the field not as the office scientist what I had in motion during my PhD and by only for doing the research for publication may not help the farmers who are waiting for us to get a new technology. Thank you.
