Keeping in mind the importance given to agriculture inIndia and the global need for Food & Water Security it was appropriate that agriculture would be the backdrop for the same. Hence the USAID and Oil came together to organize a "Kissan Mela" - an exhibition with an intrinsic theme of Creating Food Security for the World. The exhibitors showcased their contribution towards the usage of Information & Technology to enhance Agricultural output in the country. President Barrack Obama accompanied by Mr. Timothy Roemer (US Ambassador to India) & Mr. Thomas Vilsack (US Secretary of State for Agriculture) met the exhibitors and had one - to - one discussions with them.
