Gujarat Confidential: The Natural Way
Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat is well known for his efforts to promote natural farming across the country. In one such initiative, the Governor addressed a special programme, Ek Kadam Prakrutik Krushi ki Ore (A Step Towards Natural Farming), at Tihar Jail in New Delhi Thursday. In his address, the Governor narrated his experiences with natural farming and its importance while pointing out the harmful effects of chemical-laced farming. As per an official release, the programme was organised following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's suggestion to use the cultivable land of Tihar Jail for natural farming and to train the jail inmates in such methods so that they can be self-reliant in agriculture after coming out of the jail and lead a respectable life. During the programme, the Governor was also joined by Home, Energy and Education Minister of Delhi Ashish Sood and Director General of Jails Satish Golcha, among others.
