Haryana's Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced a significant initiative to promote natural farming across a 2,000-acre cluster in Kurukshetra district, in collaboration with Haryana Agricultural University. This project, part of the Smart Agriculture Scheme, aims to protect soil health, water resources, and public health by encouraging traditional agricultural practices. Farmers participating in this initiative will be compensated for any losses incurred during the transition. Saini highlighted that nearly 200,000 farmers have registered on the state's natural farming portal, with over 23,930 verified farmers managing around 44,077 acres. The government plans to lease approximately 800 acres of agriculture department land to farmers committed to natural farming for at least 10 years. Additionally, subsidies for purchasing indigenous cows have been increased to ₹30,000. Training centers have been established to educate farmers in natural farming techniques, with over 12,188 participants trained so far. The initiative aims to enhance market access for organic produce and foster a healthier agricultural ecosystem in Haryana.
