Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday personally operated a tiller to plough his field at his private residence in Nagla Tarai and applied natural manure made from cow dung, conveying a message in support of organic and traditional farming. His mother, Bishna Devi, was also present on the occasion.
While working in the field, the Chief Minister highlighted the hard work of farmers and the importance of agricultural traditions. He said that farming is not only a means of livelihood but also the soul of Indian culture and the rural economy. By combining modern technology with traditional and natural farming practices, agriculture can be made more prosperous and sustainable.
The Chief Minister stated that natural methods such as cow dung manure play a significant role in enhancing soil fertility while also contributing to environmental conservation. He appealed to farmers to reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers and move towards organic and natural farming. He added that the state government is continuously working to increase farmers’ income, modernize agriculture, and promote organic products.
The Chief Minister further said that Uttarakhand’s identity is closely linked to agriculture, rural culture, and nature. The state government is providing assistance to farmers through various schemes to promote traditional farming, horticulture, natural agriculture, and local products. He emphasized that connecting the younger generation with farming and rural development is the need of the hour.
