A new chapter of a glorious revolution in the field of organic farming, herbal farming and gardening has commenced through the efforts of Patanjali. There will be spiritual and economic growth. The foundation stone of the food park has been laid down by Assam CM AS Sarvanand Sonowal, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev and his assistant Acharya Balkrishna on Sunday. Patanjali food park will now be a source of joy and prosperity to the farmers of Assam.
Swami Ramdev ji commenced his karmayog in the holy land of Assam in the year 1993. Swami Ramdev Ji started his journey of yog and Karmyagaya from Bhairavpuri, in Assam, and when he thought of expansion of Patanjali, Assam was a natural choice. Because of Assam being abundant in natural herbs and shrubs, today it is a prime manufacturing centre for Patanjali’s pure, natural, scientific and swadeshi herbal products in bulk nationally. This is by far the largest industrial set-up achieved in Assam. Processing and packaging of various food products and herbal products will be carried out here. This park which has been started with an annual turnover target of ` 20,000 crores will give direct employment to 5000 people.
Every year the company will directly be providing the farmers with the right price for their herbal harvest. Apart from this, over a lakh of farmers and farm labourers will get jobs and better standard of living. With employment and growth opportunities, Assam will witness all around progress. Patanjali’s campaign will both directly and indirectly facilitate economic self-sustenance and at the same time strengthen the campaign to restrict foreign companies from ruling us economically and looting the country. Assam will successfully create a place of its own in the field of food and agricultural processing.
