Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture has harmful effects on soil health. The only option to avoid this is natural farming, with the help of which both the yield of the farm and the fertilizer capacity of the soil can be increased. At the same time, schemes are being run by the government across the country to promote natural farming. Under this, the government is providing financial assistance to farmers for seeds, biofertilizers, bio-pesticides, organic manure, compost, botanical extracts, etc. For this, the government is giving a financial amount of Rs 31 thousand per hectare to the farmers. Which will be provided to the farmer brothers for 3 years.
Along with this, the central government is promoting natural farming on the banks of river Ganga through Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana and Indian Natural Farming System. At the same time, according to these schemes, under the Namami Gange program, a total fund of Rs 120.49 crore has been released to the farmers so far. Many farmer brothers have benefited from its help. On the other hand, farmers are being trained for judicious use of chemical fertilizers with the aim of improving soil health, so that they can reap the benefits of farming by combining both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients.
