Due to global warming, the environment cycles are changing, and resulting into variation of temperature in all regions. Also water resources are getting depleted. A day is not far off when we have to save every drop of water. To grow intensively produced plants for human food and non-food uses and for personal or social needs it is very important to apply knowledge, skills, and technologies. One of the main sources of livelihood is Agriculture and also has major impact on economy of the country.
