Sahaja National Agricultural Project, 2011

Sahaja National Agricultural Project, 2011

As a part of Sahaja Yoga propagation, it was decided at the National Trust level that the Sahaja Agricultural experiments conducted in Maharashtra during 2011 in a planned scientific manner be replicated al over India.

In order to monitor all this activity. It is proposed to constitute a National Committee on Sahaja Agriculture.

Dr. G.D.Pareek – Rajasthan will prepare copoes of the Sahaja Agriculture Project and will forward a copy each to all the National Trustee who, in turn with forward one copy each to the State Coordinator.

Following the encouraging results of field experiments of 2011 in Maharashtra, the 2^nd phase of experiments was launched at national level involving universities, scientists and farmers in 10 states of India. Under the second phase of project, 15,000 farmers have been introduced to Sahaja agriculture in the country. To start the second phase of project, 5.0 quintals of high yielding vibrated seeds have been given away to the farmers. The farmers from different states have reported improvement in production by practicing Sahaja agricultural techniques:

1. Better germination and growth of plants/crops
2. Higher crop yields
3. Protection against natural calamities, diseases and pests
4. Improved quality of cattle feed to improve body weight and production
5. Improved health of cattle
6. Increased milk production and egg laying etc.

The National Sahaja Agriculture Project was devised into phases:

First phase

1.The model developed on Sahaja Agriculture in Maharashtra may be implemented in other states.

2. At least 100 farmers under National Sahaja Agriculture Project to be involved in Sahaja Agriculture in each state.

3. The first phase of National Sahaja Agriculture Project to be started on kharif crops in 2012.

4. In each state, a team of Sahaja Agriculture scientists, Experts, government officials may be constituted and empowered with basic infrastructure facilities including (posters, literatures, pamphlets, CDs of films and PPPs and internet etc.) for awareness creation, training and extension services to the farmers may be prepared.

5. Tabulation of data and documentation of experiences of stake holders on Sahaja Agriculture.

Second Phase

1. Upscaling the programmes on Sahaja Agriculture in whole country.
2. To submit the project proposals to study the effects of Chaitanaya vibrations on water, soil, climate and environment.
3. To study the effects of Chaitanaya vibrations on the quality of raw materials (fruits, seeds, leaves etc.) and food end products through chemical studies.
4. To study the reasons of farmers commmiting suicides in Vidarbh region of Maharashtra state and give the solution through Sahaja Agriculture.
5. Preparation of Sahaja Agriculture Implementation booklets with details of Implementation Committees, Nodal officer, training programmes and plans of implementation subject wise (agriculture, horticulture, forestry, animal husbandry etc.) on awareness creation, research and extension, workshops, trainings, collection of feed back, exchanges of information, communication, analysis, monthly plan of action and documentation etc. on Sahaja Agriculture in easy language  in each state.
6. The collection of data and information as feed back may be done in proper proforma separately for each field, i.e. Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Animal husbandry and fisheries etc.

Some experiments were conducted on Sahaj Agriculture by many researchers in India viz. –
