Indian economy is agricultural based one. Most of the people in India find their livelihood in cultivation only. But the work will not be there throughout the year. No guarantee for farmers. More expenditure and less income. Farmer won’t have right to decide price for their crop he grew. There are many problems like this in this career.
When will this farmer see success? Isn’t there any solution for his problems? Yes says Subash Palekar. He is father of natural farming in recent years. Without using pesticides and chemicals, a farmer can earn good profits with a new concept he discovered from ancient farming.
For this, 30 acres of land and a cow is required. With one cow’s dung and urine, farmer can cultivate one acre of land. This is true. He proved it. Many farmers are following him in natural farming. AP government is concentrating on this upcoming technique and giving training for farmers on natural faming.
An agricultural summit is organized by AP government in East Godavari district in Kakinada where a good number of 6,000 farmers are participating. Agricultural scientist Subash Palekar is giving an 8 day class for these farmers. By arranging 130 clusters, nearly, 3lakh 15,000 acres will be cultivated after the training.
After independence, in a need of food for huge population, Jawaharlal Nehru initiated green revolution but it took bad turn Subash Palekar opined. Green revolution has failed to fulfill its intensions he said.
