J-K: Around 200 farmers get hands-on training in Doda under 'Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025'
Bhaderwah (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 4 (ANI): The Department of Agriculture, Doda, organised a comprehensive farmer awareness programme at Bhalara Bhaderwah as part of the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025, where around 200 participating farmers discussed the latest technologies and different Agricultural schemes. The Director of Agriculture, Jammu, Arvinder Singh, was the chief guest on the occasion. This was organised in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to revitalise the agriculture sector. The initiative aims to empower farmers with knowledge, technology, and resources to boost productivity, ensure sustainable practices, and increase income. Sub Divisional Agricultural Officer Bhaderwah Aamir Rafiqi highlighted the government's long-term vision to make Indian agriculture globally competitive. The Prime Minister's vision for a developed India by 2047 cannot be achieved without transforming agriculture. This campaign is about creating awareness and driving real change on the ground. Director Agriculture, Jammu, Arvinder Singh, emphasised the importance of farmer-centric policies being implemented by the Government of India. He said, 'Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan is not just a campaign but a mission to ensure the transformation of Indian agriculture through scientific interventions, smart resource utilisation, and access to direct benefits.' He urged farmers to proactively engage with the departments, adopt sustainable practices, and take advantage of the numerous schemes and subsidies made available under the leadership of the Prime Minister. Arvinder Singh added that 'Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025 is an opportunity for farmers to directly interact with field experts and scientists to resolve their issues and upgrade their practices. He encouraged farmers to adopt organic and climate-resilient agriculture while taking full advantage of government-supported initiatives for irrigation, seeds, fertilisers, and crop insurance. During the programme, farmers shared significant challenges including irregular rainfall, water quality issues, soil health problems, market prices and availability of quality seeds. Scientists of Krishi Vighyan Kendra Doda provided detailed information on natural farming, integrated pest management, new varieties, soil health management, crop diversification, direct-seeded rice cultivation, summer ploughing, and government schemes. 'We usually hear about government schemes, but don't always understand how to apply for them. Today, officers helped us directly that personal guidance makes a big difference,' said a farmer, Sashi Kumar. 'This is the first time I've seen such detailed information about soil health and organic farming methods in one place,' said Ravi, a farmer from Bhaderwah. 'If these methods are adopted widely, we can definitely increase our yield and income,' he added. (ANI)

Gujarat Titans Continue To Champion Sustainability At World's Largest Cricket Stadium During IPL 2025
Continuing their unwavering commitment to sustainability, the Gujarat Titans have shown excellence in managing waste from the world's largest cricket stadium, the Narendra Modi Stadium, for the third consecutive year. The Gujarat franchise have collected and processed an impressive 93,385 kilograms of waste in the seven home matches of the IPL 2025 season. This adds on to the Titans' holistic efforts in maintaining a sustainability-first approach across and beyond the IPL. Gujarat Titans started this initiative in 2023 aligning with their larger goal of sustainability, and ever since, thousands of kilograms of waste have been collected, processed and repurposed through their concentrated all-round efforts. In the 2024 season, the initiative resulted in a total of 1,04,777 kilograms of waste being efficiently processed through recycling, composting, upcycling, reuse, or donation across the Titans' home fixtures. With a capacity exceeding 100,000 spectators, the Narendra Modi Stadium presents a unique opportunity and responsibility for scaling sustainable practices. Gujarat Titans are harnessing this platform to execute a comprehensive, end-to-end waste management program that ensures environmental impact is minimised without compromising the fan experience. The current season's waste collection includes 83,761 kilograms of dry waste and 9,624 kilograms of wet waste, all of which are being processed using decentralised sorting, recycling, and composting systems. Excess food and materials are directed to donation channels, contributing to both environmental and social impact. Gujarat Titans' partnership with NEPRA Resource Management Pvt. Ltd. (NEPRA), enables them to manage the entire waste lifecycle from on-ground collection and segregation to transportation and final processing. The collective efforts also cater to stadium-wide sensitization campaigns, and ensuring hygiene and waste practices among food stall operators. Visual communication via banners, posters, and bin signage enhances public awareness, supported by social media outreach amplifying the initiative's goals. Colonel Arvinder Singh, Chief Operating Officer, Gujarat Titans emphasized the team's vision and said, "At Gujarat Titans, it is our endeavour to do our part to contribute towards a cleaner, greener future. With the help of our partners, we're able to turn waste into resources from each of our home games at the Narendra Modi Stadium. We're proud that our fans extend their consistent support to this initiative and continue to embrace and drive this mission forward." This campaign has not only transformed how waste is managed at scale but has also empowered local waste workers, including many women, thus contributing to both environmental sustainability and social equity through a circular economy framework. As the IPL 2025 progresses, the Gujarat Titans remain committed to making meaningful change leading by example on and off the field. Listen to the latest songs, only on
