The Prajapitha Brahma Kumaris Iishwarya Vidyalaya along with Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation has launched a campaign in Jharkhand aiming to promote prosperity through organic farming.
The campaign, inaugurated at Bokaro by Agriculture Minister Randhir Singh, will continue across the State, informed Braham Kumari Tripti Bahan. Organic farming excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and food growth hormones, she said adding “We are on move to empower the farmers by motivating them to opt organic farming which will help them in being prosperous.”
Under this campaign, volunteers are moving place to place and explaining the mass how crops also grow energetically without using chemical fertilizers and medicines. Just as human beings perform well with the right encouragement, agriculture crops too respond positively to treatment with natural nutrients, she said.
The campaign will cover Jamtara, Dumka, Godda, Mahgama, Deoghar, Nirsa, Purulia, Silli, Hazaribagh, Keridari and will conclude at Phusro on December 3, informed BK Raju, national Vice-President of agricultural and rural development. “The dream of new India only can be realized by empowering the farmers,” Raju added.
Our campaign aims to raise awareness among farmers, consumers, policymakers to end the use of chemicals and to adopt higher standards for the availability of safe organic food items. Most pesticides and synthetic fertilizers used in the country are regarded as extremely hazardous and their accumulation could lead to diseases such as cancer, skin and eye irritation, lung damage, infertility and diarrhea, he said.
“We are sure that our campaign will be able to generate a new wave in the field of organic farming and uplift the socio-economic conditions of farmers,” added Raju.
