Organic framing for eastern states, a welcome step

New government's plans to turn Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal and eastern Uttar Pradesh into organic farming region is a welcome move. The government is all set to issue soil health cards to farmers.

This will enable farmers to increase their production by choosing right seeds and organic fertilizers.

Radha Mohan Singh, Union agriculture minister can a positive role to bring a true green revolution in this region provided he is able to stand up to chemical pesticide and chemical fertilizer lobby.
