The farmers graciously guided them through the process, demonstrating the art of creating bio-manure and highlighting the sustainable practices that lay the foundation for Mukti’s organic farming success.

In the second half of their visit, the delegation had the privilege of meeting with 18-19 organic farmers from Baradanagar, Damkal, PurbaSridharpur, and Nagendrapur. Gathered in a meeting, the professors and farmers engaged in a lively discussion, sharing their expertise, experiences, and innovative approaches. The meeting provided an invaluable platform for mutual learning, as the professors gained insights into the intricacies of organic farming techniques employed by Mukti’s farmers. Impressed by the methodology and commitment demonstrated by the farmers, the visitors expressed their admiration and appreciation for the impactful work being done at Mukti.
