Excitement Builds: Nizamabad Prepares to Host Grand Kisan Maha-Sammelan
Kisan Maha-Sammelan Nizamabad is gearing up to become a landmark moment for farmers as the Polytechnic College Ground in Nizamabad undergoes final preparations to host thousands of attendees from across Telangana and neighboring states. The grand gathering aims to spotlight agriculture sector concerns, with special emphasis on turmeric farmers’ issues and the push for the National Turmeric Board.
A Mega Farmer-Centric Event
Scheduled to be one of the biggest farmer gatherings in the region, the Kisan Maha-Sammelan will bring together farmer leaders, agricultural experts, policymakers, political leaders, and ground-level cultivators to deliberate on a wide range of topics—MSP, crop insurance, irrigation, market access, and most importantly, turmeric farming.
The event is expected to be attended by:
Farmer unions and cooperatives
Agricultural scientists and extension officers
Elected representatives from the region
Leaders advocating for the National Turmeric Board
Thousands of farmers representing various crops and backgrounds
Focus on Turmeric Farmers and the National Turmeric Board
Turmeric cultivation, particularly in districts like Nizamabad, plays a major role in the region’s rural economy. However, challenges such as price volatility, export limitations, and lack of institutional support have plagued farmers for years.
The demand for a National Turmeric Board has become a rallying cry for farmers in Telangana, who are seeking dedicated support for:
Research and development in turmeric cultivation
Export promotion and global branding of Indian turmeric
Minimum support price guarantees
Processing and value addition units at local levels
This Maha-Sammelan is expected to reignite the movement for the establishment of the board, with resolutions and action plans to be discussed and passed at the venue.
Venue: Polytechnic College Ground, Nizamabad
The Polytechnic College Ground in Nizamabad is undergoing full-fledged preparations to accommodate the massive turnout expected for the event. The venue will feature:
A large stage and sound system for public addresses
Farmer service kiosks by government departments
Medical and emergency response teams
Display stalls from agri-tech startups and seed companies
Refreshment and rest areas for attendees
Local authorities and volunteers are ensuring that arrangements are hygienic, accessible, and farmer-friendly.

Voicing long-standing demands for better support to turmeric farmers
Raising awareness about government schemes and how to access them
Creating a unified farmer platform for policy engagement
Discussing sustainable farming practices, organic turmeric, and export potential
Drafting a formal resolution demanding the creation of the National Turmeric Board

Farmer Voices Set to Lead the Way
This event is not just about speeches—it’s about farmers taking the lead in shaping their future. Farmer leaders will present their real-world challenges, engage in panel discussions with scientists, and interact directly with policymakers.
One turmeric farmer from Armoor said:
“We’ve waited too long. A National Turmeric Board will change the game for lakhs of turmeric farmers. We hope this Sammelan gives us that final push.”
Building a Future-Ready Agriculture Policy
Organizers say the Kisan Maha-Sammelan isn’t just a one-day event—it’s part of a larger mission to build sustainable, profitable, and inclusive agriculture. The event is expected to issue a “Nizamabad Declaration” that will outline actionable steps and demands for farmer empowerment.
Final Thoughts
As Nizamabad prepares to host the Kisan Maha-Sammelan, the atmosphere is one of anticipation, solidarity, and renewed hope. Farmers, the backbone of the Indian economy, are coming together not just for demands—but for dialogue, direction, and development.
The National Turmeric Board demand will take center stage, but the message is broader:
Farmers want recognition, respect, and results.
As the countdown begins, all eyes are on Nizamabad—and the farmers who are sowing the seeds of change.
