"1 Crore Farmers To Be Initiated Into Natural Farming": Nirmala Sitharaman
In her seventh consecutive budget presentation, Ms Sitharaman also outlined initiatives with a focus on sustainable practices, digital infrastructure, and increased production.

Natural farming not only enhances soil health and biodiversity but also reduces the cost of cultivation for farmers, thus increasing their profitability.
