Former PM, in a video address, urges Modi govt to 'put aside vendetta politics' and reach out to sane voices so that economy is steered out of this 'man-made crisis'.
A higher surcharge on wealthy Indians in the Budget has alarmed overseas investors since it also applies to trusts – a choice for several foreign funds that invest in India.
Modi govt used revised estimates for FY19 in budget for FY20 rather than provisional actual numbers. That’s standard practice in election year budgets.
Contract for construction of four MILGEM-class ships was signed in 2018. PNS Bedir is to be delivered by June 2026, while PNS Tariq is due for delivery in first quarter of 2027.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
Without having better People’s Policy on Natural Farming and best Natural Farming practicing Model Plots(at least 100 in district) we can’t compete with chemical farming (MNCs, most of scientists, etc)…..
First Modi Government must do this… Rather than just pronouncing Natural Farming…. Put some budget to doing all this…. See one thing there is no zero budget in farming….
I travelled to a State to find the scale at which ZBNF is practiced. In one place, small area of ZBNF exists… I went to 20 Km to find the second one doing ZBNF even without application Jeevamrit
. Then I went another 15 Km to find the third one.
Fourth one I don’t know whether I will be able to find or not… this is the ground reality.
. FARMER to FARMER extension is the best method… I am still not able to understand why neighbour farmers are not convinced… Agricultural
Scientists have done lot.. because of that today we are getting all the commodities at affordable price
Can the nation afford to produce only 600 kg wheat yield per acre using ZBNF….. this is the yield reported by farmers who have earlier tried ZBNF…
think before criticising Scientists…
What is the health affect on people and amount spent on medical bills due to application of chemical fertilizers. Scientists should see on this aspect. They should also see the cost effective methods. On the one side they are increasing yield and on the other side medical bills.
Most of the important point scientists are missing ( or misleading people) is the important fact of “input cost”. Today as a farmer We are spending 30-40% on manures. With the 4 wheels of SPNF farmer is directly getting benefits without the need of any “pricing fluctuations”.
It’s stupid to simply say it’s not possible without knowing the core of it.
Also these scientists never existed during 1960’s when our farmers used to really grow double to what they are growing now .
Why don’t we can afford double the price of lead is less…these scientists who support chemical farming doing more than good. They should rather put their brains to come up with newer technology….I support organic farming ..zero budget can be next step..lot of good brains already started doing it but not at scale..do this need scale
If ZBNF is applied nationwide,the business of multinational as well as Indian companies will be affected.They have nothing to do with the health of we people….. Nor with oyr the health of out motherland…..thats it…..
I heard the same arguement some 12 years back. Who stopped them from experimenting. On one side their own studies say soils are becoming saline, their factor productivity has come down etc. When the problem is known, what alternative options were developed you being scientists? Agriculture is location specific. Who has promoted pan india technologies ignoring local agro-ecology? ZBNF is using local resources, producing crops. Where are the publications on companion crops, high density diversity based plantations etc.? Public institutions should guide on these lines rather than brushing aside farmers’ knowledge. World over shift is towards agroecology based production systems.
It’s funny those scientists don’t even know basic science behind jeevamruta. Jeevamruta is not fertilizer. It’s microbial culture to speed up decomposition. Dear scientists pleaee study some basic science… As environmentalists I will support the natural farming methods. That’s the future if we adopt it properly.
Yes Correct. Without getting basics of ZBNF Scientists making open statement against ZBNF. They have to work at field level instead working in dry lab. If they oppose to ZBNF, then what will be the option with them??? They don’t have firm solution for alternative of ZBNF.
What is the locus standy of Scientists to call it un viable… Scientists should stop behaving like Anti-Nationals… Vande Matram.

These scientists are idiots! The Print people are another set of Idiots to promote such idiots!
well said brother.
