The District Magistrate (DM) of Begusarai recently underscored the importance of promoting the production and use of green manure in the district. He stated that encouraging natural farming practices will strengthen the rural economy and significantly boost farmers' incomes. The DM instructed officials to motivate farmers to produce and utilize green manure, emphasizing that reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers and adopting organic and natural methods is crucial for sustainable agriculture.

He highlighted that green manure plays a vital role in enhancing soil fertility, improving soil structure, increasing water retention capacity, and providing essential nutrients. This not only boosts crop yields but also improves their quality. The DM explained that natural farming is not just about chemical-free agriculture but also focuses on conserving soil, water, and biodiversity, benefiting the environment and providing healthier produce to consumers.

The DM directed agricultural department officials and scientists to organize workshops and training programs to raise awareness among farmers. These programs will educate farmers on green manure production methods, various green manure crops (such as Dhaincha, Sunn hemp, Moong, Urad), and their benefits. He urged farmers to leverage various government schemes to adopt natural farming and double their income.

This initiative aims to transform Begusarai into an agriculture-based self-reliant district where farmers can achieve prosperity by adopting modern and sustainable agricultural practices. The DM also noted that local production of green manure would eliminate the need for farmers to purchase fertilizers from outside, thereby reducing costs and increasing net profits. This step provides a crucial direction for agricultural development in the district.
