The State Government has been making every attempt to endorse it. With Natural farming, the fertility of the land remains and as the
crop remains devoid of the use of chemicals, there is no other possibility of any
damage from them, he added.

block, where bio fertilizer would be made with the cow-dung and its urine.
From the next year, farmers would be provided guidelines for hybrid farming by holding of
‘Krishi melas’ (Agriculture fairs) in each and every development blocks. In the upcoming days,
farmers engaged in this farming would get many facilities, he added.
