Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Sh. Harvinder Kalyan said that it is a special occasion for the Assembly to have a distinguished personality like Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat present in the House to share his views on an important subject like natural farming.
He stated that Acharya Devvrat is not only deeply connected with natural farming but has also made remarkable contributions in this field. For years, he has been making continuous efforts to turn natural farming into a mass movement across the country and inspiring farmers to adopt farming practices in harmony with nature.
Harvinder Kalyan said that Haryana is an agriculture-dominated state, and therefore the importance of natural farming becomes even greater. In many regions of the state, the groundwater level is declining rapidly, and paddy-wheat-based farming is putting excessive pressure on water resources. He emphasized that the need of the hour is to develop a balanced agricultural system through natural farming that protects soil, water, environment, and human health.
Referring to his visit to Gujarat, he said that he had detailed discussions with Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankarbhai Chaudhary. After watching the model and documentary on natural farming presented by Acharya Devvrat, he got a closer understanding of its usefulness. During this visit, he invited the Governor to Haryana Vidhan Sabha, which was gladly accepted.
Sh. Kalyan said that today’s lecture provided all legislators with in-depth knowledge about natural farming. Many members showed keen interest and raised questions, which were answered in detail by the Governor.
He expressed confidence that through public representatives, this message will reach farmers, encouraging them to adopt natural farming in line with the needs of the time. This will strengthen the agricultural sector and contribute significantly to achieving the goal of a developed India.
On this occasion, Leader of Opposition Sh. Bhupinder Singh Hooda described natural farming as a very important subject, stating that it is not only related to food but also to human health. He expressed concern that diseases are increasing due to chemical farming and emphasized that it is time to return to nature by adopting natural farming. He also suggested that along with promoting natural farming, it is equally important to ensure fair prices for farmers’ produce so that farming becomes profitable and farmers are encouraged to adopt it.
