Everyday farming communities are doing wonders. The meaning of sustainability is known to everybody. India has developed in every sphere significantly. It is possible due to progress in science and technology. Earlier the situation in India in food production was very horrible. Now things have changed. We are now producing surplus food. Nowadays we have to make an integrated approach in science and technology for a sustainable future. Science and technology should be integrated with other branches and develop new innovations for sustainable development, he added.
