ABOUT THE SEMINAR
The Protection of Plant Variety and Farmers Right Act, 2001 (PPVFR Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide for the establishment of an effective system for protection of plant varieties, the rights of farmers and plant breeders, and to encourage the development and cultivation of new varieties of plants. This Act received the assent of the President of India on the October 30, 2001.

Plant variety protection provides legal protection of a plant variety to a breeder in the form of Plant Breeder's Rights. Plant Breeder's Rights (PBRs) are intellectual property rights that provide exclusive rights to a breeder of the registered variety.

The Plant Variety Protection and Farmers Rights Act (PPVFRA), 2001, a sui generis system, is an attempt by the Indian Government to recognize and protect the rights of both commercial plant breeders and farmers in respect of their contribution made in conserving, improving and making available plant genetic resources for development of new plant varieties and to encourage the development of new plants varieties.

Protection of the plant varieties under the PPVFR Act, 2001 accelerates agricultural development and stimulates investment for research and development for the development of new plant varieties, which in turn facilitates the growth of the seed industry and ensures the availability of high quality seeds and planting material to the farmers.
