Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a Natural Farming Conclave through video conferencing at Surat in Gujarat today. It will witness the participation of thousands of farmers and all other stakeholders who have made adoption of Natural farming in Surat.
As part of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, Mr Modi in his address at Gujarat Panchayat Mahasammelan in March this year had exhorted at least 75 farmers in each village to adopt natural way of farming. Guided by this vision, Surat District undertook a concerted effort to sensitise and motivate different stakeholders and institutions like farmer groups, elected representatives, Cooperatives and Banks to help farmers in adoption of Natural Farming. Consequently, at least 75 farmers were identified in each Gram Panchayat and were trained to undertake Natural Farming. The farmers were trained in 90 different clusters resulting in training of more than 41 thousand farmers across the district.
