Symposium Discusses Future of Gene-Edited Rice

A big meeting called a symposium was held at Presidency University to talk about a special kind of rice that has been changed using something called gene-editing.

This rice is important because it can help India, which eats a lot of rice, to have enough food and take care of the environment.

The meeting had four main topics: how new technology can help farming, rules and policies about farming, how farming affects food and the environment, and how to make sure everyone has enough food.

Some people think this new rice is a good idea because it can help with food and nutrition.

Others wonder if it's really necessary when there are already many types of rice that can handle different climates.

The Indian government is supporting this new technology, and it has been tested well.

The meeting was organized by Avishek Banik, Niloshree Bhattacharya, and Malay Das.
