The farmers of Chandrashekhar Azad Nagar were not just receiving a certificate of appreciation; they were receiving recognition for a way of farming that is becoming more practical, resilient and market-oriented. Their stories show that when policy support reaches the field, it can turn a modest beginning into a sustainable livelihood.
Yashpal Singh’s mango orchard is a strong example of how natural farming can grow with the right backing. What began with a few hundred saplings and financial support has become a large orchard that now attracts buyers directly, without the farmer having to chase the market. His wish for natural farming certification is equally important, because in today’s agriculture, credibility can open the door to wider and even overseas markets.
Vijay Singh’s experience tells a similar story of growth built on government support. His orchard now produces a substantial harvest, but his demand for fencing shows that success in farming is never complete without protection and infrastructure. A productive field still needs security if it is to remain profitable.
The grain growers in the group reflect another truth: climate uncertainty has made diversification essential. Millets, pulses and oilseeds are not only hardy crops, they are also a sensible response to low rainfall and changing weather. When farmers say insurance gives them relief after crop loss, it shows how important safety nets have become in modern agriculture.
Poonam Singh and the others also remind us that good farming is not only about production, but about access. Support for organic inputs, market linkages, better prices and expert advice helps farmers stay confident even when rainfall is uncertain. That confidence matters because farming becomes durable only when risk is shared and knowledge is continuous.
This is why the Balram Krishi Mahotsav matters. It is not simply a ceremony of applause, but a sign that farming can move toward a future where natural methods, government help and market access work together. In that future, recognition is not the end of the story; it is evidence that rural enterprise is beginning to stand on its own feet.
