Tourist Spots Near Raipur

ABOUT RAIPUR CITY
Chhattisgarh state, popularly known as'Rice Bowl of Central India”, came th into existence on November, 2000 as 26 states of India upon division of Madhya Pradesh. The state, with 33 districts, is surrounded by Jharkhand state on northwest, Odisha on the east, Andhra Pradesh on the south, and Maharashtra on the southwest.The state is divided into threeAgro-climatic zones viz.,Chhattisgarh plains,Bastar plate and Northern hills region. th Raipur has been in existence since the 9 century, the old site and ruins of the fort can be seen in the southern part of the city. This district was once part of the Dakshina Kosala Kingdom and later a part of the Mauryan Empire. Raipur had been the capital of the Haihaya Dynasty Kalchuri kings, controlling the forts of Chhattisgarh for a considerable nd rd period. Satavahana kings ruled this part until the 2 –3 century. Raipur is the capital and also the largest city in Chhattisgarh. Newly established Nava Raipur is the India's fourth planned city after Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, and Bhubaneswar and has been constructed in phases incorporating world class architecture and design. Nava Raipur is also planned as the business, cultural and educational hub of the Indian state Chhattisgarh. Nava Raipur is an urban agglomeration comprising the city of Raipur along with the new city of Nava Raipur and the industrial city of Bhilai-Durg. Raipur district is bordered by Bilaspur in North, Bastar & Odisha in South, Raigarh & Odisha by the East and Durg to the West.

TOURIST SPOTS

Mahant Ghasidas Museum was established in 1875 by Raja Mahant Ghasidas. It is listed amongst the leading museums in central India located near D. K. S. Hospital in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

Vivekananda Sarovar is a very old lake which is as old as the city. A 37 ft high statue of Swami Vivekananda has been build in the lake. This statue has been added in Limca Book of Records for being the "largest model for a statue". The lake has color-light fountains.

Nandanvan is a mini zoo covers an area of 10 - hectares of land. It is located about 15 km away from Raipur city. The main objective to establish such a nature park is to provide shelter to stray wild animals. This zoo also acts as a biological park and maintains some common forestry plants.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

In the recent years, the looming food scarcity problem has transformed agricultural sciences as an emerging discipline committed to devise new strategies for enhancing crop productivity to feed approximately 10 billion world's populations by the year 2050. The major factors causing food scarcity are biotic and abiotic stresses which substantially limit productivity and nutritional quality of crops world-wide. Changing climate further aggravates adverse effects of combined stresses and increase the losses. Aglobal survey on the major food crops indicated that pathogens, insect pests and weeds cause average yield losses ranging from 17-30% in crops. Likewise, the major abiotic stresses such as temperature extremes, salinity, drought, as well as the deficiency and toxicity of plant nutrients cause up to 51-82% annual loss of crop yield in the world. Often, the exposure of plants to pests or pathogens increase the effects of an abiotic stress(es) such as water deficit and higher temperature, whereas long-term abiotic stress can weaken plant defense and cause enhanced pathogen susceptibility. Despite this, only few reports in the literature have focused on understanding the interactive effects of biotic and abiotic stresses both in laboratory as well as under field conditions. In this scenario, novel strategies need to be adopted to achieve maximum productivity and economic crop returns under such adversaries. Some of the major strategies include pathogen/pest management practices, novel gene discovery, breeding of new crop varieties, high-throughput phenotyping, rapid diagnosis, screening and selection of crop gene pools, genetically modified (GM) crops, exogenous use of osmoprotectants and plant hormones, application of microbiome-based consortium (SynCom) on crops, identification of stresses through remote sensing and spectral signatures, agronomic and soil reclamation practices, sustainable use of available water supplies, use of artificial intelligence (AI) encompassing bioacoustics with machine learning in agriculture, etc. The above facts call for discovery, development and implementation of novel strategies involving all knowledge-linked climate smart tools to combat emerging challenges of biotic and abiotic stresses independently as well as together. Hence, the conference on “Novel Strategies for Mitigating Biotic and Abiotic Stresses for Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability” is proposed to identify major challenges of biotic and abiotic stresses, climate resilience challenges, developing diagnostics including use of artificial intelligence (AI), formulating strategies to address these issues to sustain future agriculture while ensuring nutritional security
