The initiative aims to raise awareness and provide training to farmers, encouraging them to adopt sustainable agricultural practices.
Benefits of Natural Farming
During his visit to Kaithala village in Kurukshetra, where he explored various natural farming initiatives, Chouhan emphasized the dual benefits of natural farming: increased farmer income and the preservation of soil fertility.

Insights from Kaithala Village
While observing the thriving crops of wheat, sugarcane, and vegetables, Chouhan praised the efforts of Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat. He highlighted the detrimental effects of excessive chemical use in modern agriculture, which threatens soil health and poses health risks to future generations.
Encouraging Adoption of Natural Farming
Chouhan urged farmers to gradually shift towards natural farming, starting with small plots. He dispelled the myth that natural farming leads to lower yields, asserting that it can enhance both productivity and crop quality.
Support from Leadership
Chouhan credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for advancing the natural farming mission, with Acharya Devvrat’s significant contributions. He encouraged farmers to visit Kaithala’s model farm for inspiration.
