Tree Planting and Organic Farming

In the context of this project, information was distributed to villagers on 'Parasbaug' (backyard gardening). For sustainable and eco-friendly farming, farmers were made aware about the negative effects of excessive fertilizers and pesticides. UVS invited experts to conduct training sessions on organic farming as organic farming is the key to avoiding soil pollution and maintaining soil health. Furthermore, USV informed farmers about the necessity of water and soil. Farmers participated in all the interactive sessions and resolved their queries and misconceptions about organic farming. Moreover, vegetable seedlings were distributed to encourage self-subsistent farming. In this context, students were given seedlings for plantation and a record was kept to check their planting progress.  UVS planted 500 trees at the gaothan area of Nagthana Grampanchayat. Additionally, a UVS team supported the local community by collecting solid and biodegradable waste under Swacch Bharat Abhiyan. Overall, UVS arranged 5 campaigns between 2017 and 2018.
