I 
t gives me great pleasure and proud that the Kasegaon Education 
Society, a pioneering in educational services to the rural sectors of 
Sangli district is organizing two days National conference through 
Department of Geography, Arts and Commerce College Ashta in between 11 & 
12 Aug. 2016. I congratulate the organizing committee particularly Dr. Arun 
Patil, Head Deptt. Of Geography and convener of this conference. 
The theme "Environmental Issues of Agriculture Development in India" is 
taken for presentation and discussion is very much appropriate as the sanstha 
and college itself is having agricultural background.  Agriculture, is supposed to 
be a fundamental way of life of Indian farmers, is transforming from primitive to 
modern and traditional to technical. This transformation has indeed reflected by 
environmental infrastructure at spatial as well as temporal level. The degraded 
environmental situation has created different challenges. These issues should be 
considered at brainstorming level. 
I believe in that the two days meet of scholars will come out with concrete 
proposals and action strategies' in this regard. 
Wish the National conference a very grand

Dear delegates, colleagues and friends, 
 am very pleased to welcome you all at UGC sponsored National Conference 
I 
on “ Environmental Issues of Agricultural Development in India” organized 
by our college on 11th and 12th August, 2016. 
 I feel that the theme of this conference is relevant to the present situation of 
development that is linked to environmental issues. We are aware of the 
great damage done to environment through exploitation of natural resources and also 
through an ever increasing use of chemicals to increase agricultural produce. As a result 
of this, irreparable damage has been done to the environment, thereby endangering the 
very  existence  of  all  living  beings.  There  are  unpredictable  climatic  changes  and 
fluctuations that have been a matter of great concern for all of us. Therefore, there is an 
urgent need to undertake steps to conserve the natural resources that have so far been 
over polluted and exploited to a great extent. I hope that through a discussion of all the 
relevant  issues  the  conference can arrive at some  positive  results that would help 
towards a sustainable development of natural resources. 
     I am sincerely thankful to all those who have helped us in the organization of this 
conference. I also thank all the guests of honor, the resource persons, the delegates, 
research students and stakeholders who have participated in this conference. I thank 
the UGC for its financial support. 
               I once again warmly welcome all the guests, the resource persons, the delegates 
and research students to this conference and hope that the conference would be a great 
success.
