Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], To promote sustainable agricultural practices, the Gujarat government has announced a special scheme offering 50 percent subsidy on Nano Urea and Nano DAP.
This initiative aims to encourage the use of these innovative fertilizers among farmers, which are believed to be more environmentally friendly and beneficial for soil health.
Speaking at the 'Sahkar Se Samriddhi' program on the occasion of 102nd International Day of Cooperatives on Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah highlighted the benefits of this scheme during the event.
He highlighted that the traditional use of liquid and solid urea has detrimental effects on soil quality and human health. By switching to Nano Urea and Nano DAP, farmers can mitigate these adverse impacts and promote healthier farming practices.
The minister also highlighted that two brands, Bharat Organic and Amul, are at the forefront of this initiative, offering 100 percent organic products. Using global technology, these brands aim to revolutionize organic farming in India.
Amit Shah highlighted the historical importance of the cooperative movement and highlighted its long presence and importance in the rural economy. Despite past challenges, the movement has seen a resurgence, especially with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's establishment of a ministry dedicated to underscoring the importance of cooperation.
In his speech, Shah spoke of the success of two key points: ethanol production and corn cultivation. The government has simplified the maize purchasing process by implementing online transactions at THSH and MSP, ensuring fair prices for farmers. This initiative not only benefits farmers but also boosts ethanol production, reducing the country's dependence on oil imports.
Shah also highlighted the vital role that cooperatives play in the rural economy. He urged cooperative transactions to remain within the sector, avoiding external financial dependencies. Highlighting a pilot project, he pointed out that additional deposits of Rs 788 crore have been identified in Banaskantha and Panchmahal.
To further strengthen the cooperative sector, Shah asked NABARD and cooperative banks across the country to open accounts for district cooperative banks and milk production committees. This measure aims to improve financial efficiency and save money within the cooperative framework.
The Gujarat government's subsidy on Nano Urea and Nano DAP aims to improve agricultural sustainability, offering farmers the tools and support they need to adopt healthier and more productive agricultural practices.
