GUWAHATI: In a pioneering stride towards sustainable and technologically advanced agriculture, officials from BVFCL (Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited) are spearheading transformative initiatives in the North Eastern states. As part of the Vikshit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY), BVFCL has undertaken a comprehensive approach, integrating awareness sessions on sustainable farming practices with drone demonstrations showcasing the innovative use of nano-urea, stated a press release.
BVFCL’s commitment to promoting environmentally conscious and efficient agricultural methods aligns seamlessly with the broader vision of PM-PRANAM (Prime Minister’s Precision Agriculture through Navigation and Mapping). The collaborative effort seeks to revolutionize farming practices in the region by combining sustainable agricultural awareness sessions with cutting-edge drone technology and modern fertilizers.
The awareness sessions, conducted by BVFCL-Officials, have been a cornerstone of this transformative effort. Farmers in Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh have been educated on the principles and benefits of sustainable farming. Topics covered during these sessions included soil health management, water conservation, crop rotation, and the judicious use of fertilizers. The objective is to empower farmers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions, enhance productivity, and reduce the ecological footprint of their agricultural activities.
Officials engaged in interactive sessions, providing valuable insights into the latest advancements in sustainable agriculture. These sessions emphasized the importance of adopting practices that promote long-term soil fertility, conserve natural resources, and minimize the environmental impact of farming activities.
Simultaneously, drone demonstrations showcasing the application of nano urea have served as practical illustrations of sustainable farming in action. Farmers witnessed firsthand, how precision agriculture, facilitated by drone technology and modern fertilizers like nano-urea, can lead to increased crop yields without compromising the environment.
The combination of awareness sessions and practical demonstrations has created a holistic learning experience for farmers. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of the benefits of sustainable farming practices and the pivotal role technology plays in achieving these goals. The hands-on approach has enhanced farmers’ receptiveness to adopting these innovative methods.
BVFCL’s initiative to integrate sustainable farming awareness sessions with drone demonstrations reflects a forward-thinking and comprehensive approach to agricultural transformation. By equipping farmers with knowledge and practical insights, BVFCL aims to catalyze a shift towards more ecologically sustainable and economically viable farming practices in the North Eastern states.
As the region wholeheartedly embraces these initiatives, the collaboration between BVFCL, PM-PRANAM and Vikshit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is poised to usher in a new era of agriculture. This collaborative effort envisions a future where precision, sustainability, and technological innovation converge to ensure the prosperity of farmers and the preservation of the environment. The combination of drone technology, nanourea, and awareness sessions is sowing the seeds for a greener and more resilient agricultural landscape in the North-Eastern States. (IANS)
