Key Points

• It is noteworthy that a program is being organized for natural farming in 425 districts across the country. In this, nine districts including Sahibganj of Jharkhand have also been selected.
• Under this, the farmers will be told the methods of natural farming. Farmers will be made aware about promoting natural farming instead of using chemical fertilizers.
• Farmers will be made aware by training them to do natural farming, so that the fertility of the soil remains. Farmers should do natural farming by not using chemical fertilizers in the fields, by using more and more cow dung, manure and cow urine in the fields, so that the number of earthworms in the fields can increase. The use of chemical fertilizers is reducing the number of earthworms in the field, due to which the fertility of the fields is decreasing.
