Sahaj Agriculture – Future Line of Action

Recommendations

The experiences of farmers and the initial observations at different research centres, we feel an encouraging trend of boosting production of various crops and hence we suggest the following points for future line of action:

1. Based on the scientific findings and experiences of farmers, it is recommended that Sahaja Agriculture is highly successful and zero budget farming system.
2. There is a need to Agricultural Universities and ICAR institutes for conducting the Sahaj Agricultural experiments for the validation. KVKs can demonstrate this to the farmers. Experiments on the present 10 NRCs should continue.
3. One scientist at each of NRCs and Agriculture Universities be entrusted with the responsibility of closely observing these experiments.
4. Agricultural Universities and ICAR institutes must also carry out studies on other crops.
5. Further research by R&D institutions should cover the studies on the impact of Sahaj Agriculture techniques on the control of diseases and pests, quality of produce and physiology and Genetics etc. of the crops.
6. To give vibrations to tools, machines, tractor, FYM etc. at the time of using them in agriculture
7. The techniques of Sahaja Agriculture should also be studied and practiced in the other allied areas like vermicompost, Horticulture, Forestry, medicinal plants, animal husbandry, poultry, fisheries and bee keeping etc.
8. To study the effect of giving vibrations on materials like tools, machines, tractor, FYM etc. at the time of using them in agriculture.
9. Sahaj Agriculture must be expanded to other states like J&K, Ladakh, Punjab, Bengal and north-eastern states.
10. There should be special efforts for promotion of Sahaj Agriculture on the lands of marginal farmers and “Suicidal Zones” (particularly from Vidarbha and Marathwada area of Maharashtra State) for encouraging Sahaj Krishi to provide respite to the ongoing problems of mass suicides.
11. The scientific results and experiences of farmers on beneficial effects of Sahaja Agriculture should be shared with global Sahaja Yoga community through country Head in respective countries.
