Chandigarh, July 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday announced promotion of natural farming in the state, saying 'Prakriti Shri Anna Prerak Kisan Committees' will be constituted in every district of the state.
"The primary responsibility of the committees will be to reach out to farmers, visit their farms and coordinate with the government to connect them with natural farming. They will in fact serve as ambassadors of natural farming," he said.
The Chief Minister was addressing the 'Prakritik kheti Samvad', organised by the Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Department in Panchkula, near here.
During the programme, Chief Minister Saini interacted with farmers and assured them that suggestions received from them would be implemented at the earliest.
He also directed officers of the Agriculture Department to release the subsidy to farmers practising natural farming who have applied for assistance to purchase cows.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Saini said that natural farming is not merely a method of cultivation but a campaign to restore the bond among farmers, nature and society that has weakened over time.
"It is a means of serving Mother Earth, reducing the cost of cultivation, conserving water and soil, and securing a safe future for coming generations."
Calling upon farmers to become ambassadors of natural farming, Chief Minister Saini added that the time had come not merely to deliberate but to act and inspire others to adopt natural farming.
The Chief Minister said the state government would interact directly with farmers from time to time and continue making sustained efforts to take the campaign for natural farming to every section of society.
He directed officers to organise similar natural farming dialogue programmes every month.
He said that Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat would also be invited to major seminars so that farmers could benefit from his rich experience.
He added that the 'Samvad' is not merely an opportunity to learn the techniques of natural farming but also a campaign to revive the centuries-old, inseparable relationship between farmers and nature.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a clear vision that natural farming is the need of the 21st century.
"It is not merely a new system of farming but a campaign to save the earth. It is a means of reducing farmers' cultivation costs, protecting the environment and building a prosperous Viksit Bharat for future generations. In Indian culture, the earth is revered as mother, and serving her is the responsibility of every citizen," he added.
