A team of volunteers led by volunteer Mohit Niranjan from Isha Foundation reached Birsa Agricultural University (BAU), on Saturday, under the ‘Mati Bachao’ Campaign. The team running the ‘Mati Bachao’ Campaign through an India-wide cycle trip included Dean Agriculture, Faculty of Agriculture, BAU, Dr DK Shahi, Associate Dean (Agricultural Engineering), E DK Rusia, University NSS Coordinator, Dr BK Jha and students associated with NSS in the College of Agriculture.
On the occasion, Mohit Niranjan told that 'Mati Bachao' campaign is a flagship program of Isha Foundation. To protect human life, the campaign has become most essential today. All animals and plants get nutrition from soil only. Today, due to various activities of humans, the health and quality of the soil is deteriorating and the fields are becoming barren. Therefore, it has become absolutely necessary to keep the soil useful for humans. He said that we had started our journey from Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh on November 16. During his cycle journey, he is meeting students of schools, colleges and universities, social workers and politicians and making them aware.
Niranjan said that their Sadhguru had earlier made people aware at the international level by taking out a solo bike journey of 30,000 kilometers from London to the Kaveri Basin of India whose main objective was to unite people to address and support the important issue of soil erosion and soil health.
On the occasion, Dean Agriculture Dr DK Shahi said that soil save campaign is necessary to protect the life of future generations. Under this, he stressed on paying special attention to soil erosion, acidic land management and soil health management in the State of Jharkhand.
