Punjab Agricultural University is the first agricultural institute in
the country to initiate the concept of kisan melas. This activity was started
in 1967. These melas are regularly held twice a year at ludhiana in march and
september. On this occasion, besides field demonstrations, an agro-industrial
exhibition is also put up and farm produce competitions are held. Now regional

gurdaspur), rainfed zone (at ballowal saunkhri, nawanshahar), south-western
