Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the mass movement to adopt natural farming will be widely successful in the coming years and the sooner farmers join this change, the more they will reap its benefits.
"Adopting natural farming is like serving Mother Earth," Prime Minister Modi said addressing a conclave on natural farming in Gujarat's Surat city via video conference.
The Prime Minister also also said the extraordinary success of the Digital India Mission is the country's answer to those who used to say that bringing about a change in villages is not easy.
"This mass movement regarding natural farming will also be widely successful in the coming years. The sooner farmers join this movement, the greater they will reap its benefits," he said.
The Prime Minister said adopting natural farming is also like serving Mother Earth, by protecting the quality of soil and its productivity.
"When you do natural farming, you are serving the nature and environment," he said.
