The main objective of the Khet Bachao Abhiyan is to reduce the use of chemicals in the land and give priority to organic and natural farming. This is to ensure that the health of the people of India, including the whole of West Bengal, can be maintained in the coming days and the cultivable land of the people of India will be maintained.The main reason why we will not survive if we do not save the land is that farmers are using more chemical fertilizers in the land to increase the fertility of the land and to increase the yield of crops by increasing the fertility of the land. This scheme and awareness is being created by the government to save everyone from this. Therefore, all of us should take this initiative of the government and focus on natural farming step by step in the coming days. To make this scheme of the government successful, everyone's cooperation is needed, so it is necessary for the farmers as well as people from all walks of life to support this scheme of the government. Chemical fertilizers are being used to increase the fertility of the soil. As a result, various diseases are being created in the human body. The central government has taken various initiatives to rapidly reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. The Ministry of Agriculture is emphasizing on natural farming instead of chemical fertilizers. Natural farming is a traditional method of farming in the country. Where cow dung and other natural products were collected and used for farming. The taste of the crops and crops was different. Today, chemical fertilizers are being used on a large scale to increase the production of crops. Many questions have been raised about the taste and nutritional value of the products produced in chemical fertilizers. As a result, many diseases are being developed in the human body.
