“Population in the world is increasing, think for the need of tomorrow and innovate, we should think for food requirement of the fast-growing population. People have invented to produce meat from vegetation to reduce the water footprint. You should aim to become an employer rather than becoming an employee” said Dr. Prashant Agrawal while addressing the gathering on the occasion.
