A Golden Era for Indian Horticulture
'Amritkaal' — the aspirational period leading to 2047, India's centenary of independence — represents a pivotal epoch for our horticulture sector. With a population of 1.6 billion projected by 2047 and horticultural production targets of 696 million tonnes, the challenges and opportunities ahead are immense. CHAI is committed to playing a catalytic role in shaping a horticulture sector that is productive, resilient, equitable, and globally competitive.
Six Strategic Pillars of Amritkaal Vision
