"I have encouraged the department of public enterprises to engage
the central public sector undertakings into an Industry-Agriculture
Partnership Mission. I am, indeed, happy that the corporate affairs
ministry, the public sector companies, business chambers and Indian
Institute of Corporate Affairs in collaboration with National Rain fed
Area Authority are joining hands to evolve 'Innovative Business Models
for Rain fed Area Development'.
President of
India, Hon'ble Pratibha Devisingh Patil stated in an article published
in The Economic Times of India on 17th November 2011, Page 16.

This
is indeed intellectual leadership by the President of India for
highlighting an area of priority in economic development of the country.
President of India is well poised to take this initiative forward by
organizing national seminars on various sectors and issues of economic
and social development and by faciliatating development of president's
national develop observations, which are summaries of the proceedings of
the seminars. President can organize some of these seminars
independently and some of these seminars can be organized by various
central universities for which President of India is the chancellor.
Organizing such a series would really do justice to the role of
President as chancellor. These seminars are totally independent
seminarls free from the influence of the cabinet and planning commission
and would present the opinions of intellectuals under a more open
atmosphere and provide diversity of opinion that Government can take
into to account its policy deliberations.
