GENE CAMPAIGN has made a compilation of the information available on Bt Cotton in a CD titled "THE STORY OF BT COTTON IN INDIA"

The report contains information gathered from diverse sources from 2001 till March 2005. This in the form of articles, press releases, reports of fields studies done by a number of agencies including the governments of those states where Bt cotton was cultivated these last three years; news appearing in the media and interventions in Parliament.

Bt cotton is India's first genetically engineered crop. Three cotton varieties belonging to Mahyco- Monsanto were given conditional approval for a period of three years in 2002.

The performance of Bt cotton in India has been the subject of great controversy with claims made by civil society and counter claims made by Monsanto.

The "THE STORY OF BT COTTON IN INDIA" is available as a hard copy and as a CD for a sum of Rs.450 or $ 20. Those interested can write to Gene Campaign at genecamp@vsnl.com   or  mail@genecampaign.org
