The need to be on the forefront of agriculture has made
Aspee a forerunner. "Aspee" and the "Farmer"
have always been an inextricable part of each other.
Aspee owes much to the farming community who helped
catapult it to its present position. Aspee felt it
a boundant duty to repay this debt to the farmers
to give back something in return for what they earned
through them.
This saw the birth of the "Aspee Agril. Research
& Development Foundation". The aim of the
Foundation is to conduct scientific research for the
extension of knowledge in the field of Plant Protection
and encourage excellence in Plant Protection by offering
Prizes & Awards to Agriculture Graduates and Progressive
Farmers. With a sponsorship of Rs. One Crore contributed
by Aspee, its employees, their Distributors and associates,
the Foundation has been set up with the basic intent
of encouraging many of the budding Agriculturists
of the Country to better the standard of Agriculture.
It was Shri. L. M. Patel's vision to motivate the
youth to go back to farming. In this quest, he instituted
scholarships for studies leading to M.Sc and Ph.D
Degrees. From the inception of the Foundation, Junior
Fellowships have been awarded for studies leading
to M.Sc and Senior Fellowships for studies leading
to Ph.D. Unfortunately; this dream of Shri.L.M.Patel
to urge youth to go back to the Farm still remains
unfulfilled.
