Hyderabad, Dec 11: Delivering the Inaugural Keynote Address at BIOAGRI 2025, held at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, eminent microbiologist and global BioAgri ambassador Prof. M. S. Reddy, Founder & Chairman of the Asian PGPR Society for Sustainable Agriculture and Professor at Auburn University, USA, called for a nationally coordinated transformation of India’s biological agriculture ecosystem. Addressing regulators, policymakers, scientists, industry leaders and farmers, Prof. Reddy said BIOAGRI has now evolved into “a movement, a platform for collaboration, and a roadmap for the future.”

Prof. Reddy applauded the BioAgri Input Producers Association (BIPA) for its two-decade-long leadership in shaping India’s biological agriculture sector. “When biologicals lacked identity and credibility, BIPA gave them a community, a platform, and a voice. While others debated feasibility, BIPA built the ecosystem,” he remarked, acknowledging every volunteer, past president and industry partner who contributed to the journey from 2021 to 2024.

Prof. Reddy stressed that agriculture is at a critical inflexion point, with soil fatigue, water stress, climate uncertainties, and global residue challenges affecting both farmers and consumers. In this context, he stated: “Biofertilizers, biostimulants, microbial inoculants and bio-nutrition products are not optional tools anymore. They are pathways for soil regeneration, public health, ecological balance, and farmer welfare.”

He underlined that farmers’ concerns regarding the consistency, validation, and reliability of biologicals must be addressed with honesty and scientific rigour. “These are not criticisms,” he said. “They are truth checks—reminders that our systems must rise to match farmer expectations.”

Prof. Reddy commended the Government of India and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for championing sustainability through initiatives such as: Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY); National Mission on Natural Farming; Digital Soil Health Cards; Biofertilizer & Biopesticide missions; Agri-digital ecosystems and Digital Agriculture Mission 2047

He emphasised that India now has the unique advantage of ancient natural farming wisdom, cutting-edge biotechnology, and extraordinary microbial diversity—a combination that can establish India as a global leader in BioAgri.

Calling for a structured national agenda, Prof. Reddy proposed six imperatives:

1. National BioInput Validation Network – Multi-location, long-term trials anchored by ICAR, SAUs and farmers.

2. BioAgri Standards & Regulatory Authority – To ensure scientific rigour, quality, shelf-life norms and truth-in-labelling.

3. Unlock Public R&D – Move microbial innovations from laboratory shelves to farmers’ fields.

4. Government Incentives for Biological Inputs – Align subsidies with soil health and climate goals.

5. District-Level BioAgri Training & Demonstration Centres – Transparent, on-ground learning for farmers.

6. National BioAgri Vision 2040 – A unified, long-term strategy connecting research, regulation, industry and farmer welfare.

He urged the creation of national and state expert committees, including NRI and global specialists, with quarterly review mechanisms to ensure measurable progress.

Prof. Reddy asserted that India is not just ready but uniquely positioned to lead the global BioAg movement “as custodians of microbial biodiversity and pioneers of both ancient and modern agro-sciences.”

Sharing reflections from the recent Maha Kisan Mela 2025 at Kanha Shanti Vanam, he said farmers are eager for trustworthy biological solutions: “Farmers told me: ‘We believe in biology. Stand with us, teach us, prove it, and walk with us.’ Their words remind us that science must be grounded in people’s lives.”

Prof. Reddy concluded with a powerful message: “Let BIOAGRI 2025 be remembered not for imagination alone, but for implementation, collaboration, and national transformation. Biological agriculture is not just the future — it is our present and our pathway.”

He saluted BIPA for its role in shaping the movement, urging the sector to seize this moment to build a Healthy India and a Great India through safe, sustainable and digital agriculture.

Mumbai, Dec 11: Arth by Emcure, in collaboration with Jai Vakeel Foundation, hosted “Inclusion Ke Sitaare” at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu to recognise individuals and organisations supporting inclusion through education, employment, representation and community participation for neurodivergent and intellectually disabled individuals.

 Actor Aamir Khan attended as Chief Guest and spoke about the role of families, caregivers and educators in building acceptance, encouraging more people to support inclusion in everyday life. The event was led by Namita Thapar, Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals and founder of Arth by Emcure, and Archana Chandra, CEO of Jai Vakeel Foundation, who emphasised that true inclusion comes when every person feels valued, accepted and able to participate equally in society.

Awards were presented to contributors from across India who have taken meaningful steps to remove barriers and build inclusive environments. The honours included recognition for Akshar School for inclusive education, Sol’s Arc for expanding inclusive employment opportunities, Astha for enabling accessible public services, and Buddy Up Network for responsible and positive media representation. Dr. Smita Mahobia was also acknowledged for her individual efforts in guiding families and creating supportive pathways.

The awardees were selected by a jury comprising Dr. Justice D. Y. Chandrachud, former Chief Justice of India, Shilpi Kapoor, Founder of BarrierBreak, Arman Ali, former Director of the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People, Kanchan Pamnani, Advocate and Solicitor, and R. S. Prasanna, Film Director. The jury reviewed eligible nominations and deliberated to identify those advancing meaningful inclusion in their communities.

A performance by a children’s group that included children with intellectual disabilities opened the evening, reflecting the confidence and joy that participation brings.

According to a 2022 systematic review published in the Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice, the estimated prevalence of intellectual disability in India is around 2 percent, indicating that millions of individuals require sustained inclusion and support across education and community environments (Source: PMC National Library of Medicine). A 2024 workforce inclusion report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) notes that persons with disabilities in India have a labour force participation rate of approximately 36 percent, much lower than the general population.

Organisers said such gaps highlight why recognition of inclusive practices can encourage more schools, workplaces and civic systems to support people with intellectual disabilities in everyday life.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Thapar said, “Inclusion is meaningful when every child and adult can participate with confidence and support”. Ms. Chandra added that, “acknowledging supporters and advocates helps families feel encouraged and recognised in their efforts”.

Families, educators and supporters attended the ceremony, united in the belief that every person deserves the right to belong and be included in society.

New york, Dec 11: Lightrun, a leader in software reliability, today launched its new Model Context Protocol (MCP) solution, enabling the industry’s first fully integrated Runtime Context for AI coding agents. This new capability is a step change in autonomous code writing that gives tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot full visibility into how code behaves after deployment, filling a missing piece of the AI development ecosystem for enterprises.

AI assistants can generate code rapidly, but studies from Stanford and Google have shown that it fails at high rates once exposed to real-world traffic, dependencies, and workloads. Furthermore, once the code leaves the Integrated Development Environment (IDE),  AI cannot see what takes place in staging, pre-production, or production. As a result, teams report spending up to 17 hours a week debugging and refactoring bad code and 60–70% of teams’ time spent debugging and a 41% rise in bug rates.

Lightrun’s Runtime Context directly addresses this problem by bridging the gap between the IDE, the AI assistant, and runtime, providing crucial context to the agent and the developer behind it. Developers can now ask their coding assistant to check environment traffic before writing a module, investigate a production failure, or add the instrumentation needed to validate behavior. Lightrun’s MCP acts as the secure bridge, enabling the AI agents to add logs and traces in real time, capture snapshots, investigate issues safely, and even suggest fixes, all without requiring engineers to manually reproduce issues. Runtime context enriches every AI-generated line of code with inline runtime context and observability. This extends across the SDLC and into production, helping engineers move faster while ensuring code remains reliable under real-world conditions

“AI has taken over much of the creative part of coding,” said Ilan Peleg, CEO and co-founder of Lightrun. “However, debugging across environments has remained painfully manual. With Runtime Context, AI can finally participate in the full lifecycle by writing code, validating and debugging it, and remediating issues based on real-world behavior. This is the next evolution of autonomous software development.”

The Runtime Context model enables AI agents to:

• Trigger remote debugging sessions inside staging, pre-production, or production

• Access production-grade telemetry in real time

• Propose fixes based on actual runtime behavior

• Deliver code that is reliable, stable, and deployment-ready

Lightrun customers can now expect faster debugging cycles, higher deployment reliability, and AI-generated code that better withstands real traffic and dependencies.
