Nano Fertilizers Empower Farmers at Khanpur Dandi Chaupal

Prayagraj: A farmer awareness program, or Chaupal, was recently held in the village of Khanpur Dandi, drawing a large turnout of local cultivators. The event focused on introducing cutting-edge agricultural techniques, particularly the use of advanced nano fertilizers that promise to revolutionize traditional farming practices.

Leading the session, Sanjay Kudeshia, Senior Executive Director (Unit Head), emphasized the benefits of using nano-based fertilizers such as Nano Urea Plus and Nano DAP. “These fertilizers are not only more efficient than conventional options but are also environmentally friendly and cost-effective,” he said, addressing an attentive audience of farmers.

Public Relations Officer, Swayam Prakash, elaborated on the mechanism of Nano Urea Plus, noting its ability to be quickly absorbed by plant leaves, allowing crops to receive essential nutrients more effectively. Meanwhile, Nano DAP plays a vital role in the early growth stages of crops, making it a valuable tool for enhancing plant development from the start.

Anurag Tiwari, Senior Manager (Training), highlighted the significant impact these fertilizers can have on soil health and agricultural productivity. “Nano fertilizers help maintain soil fertility while contributing to increased crop yields,” he explained, encouraging farmers to adopt them as part of their regular agricultural practices.

Dr. Harishchandra from COREDET provided detailed guidance on the proper usage of these nano fertilizers. He explained best practices regarding dosage, application techniques, and necessary precautions to ensure optimal results and farmer safety.

The participating farmers appreciated the session, describing it as highly informative and beneficial. They expressed their willingness to incorporate these modern methods into their farming routines. Locals noted that such educational initiatives are essential for empowering rural farmers with scientific knowledge and environmentally sustainable solutions.

Among the notable attendees were local farmers like B.D. Singh, Ranjeet Singh, Ram Bahadur Patel, Gudiya Devi, Shankar Lal, and Abhinav Singh, all of whom actively participated in the discussion and showed enthusiasm for embracing innovation in agriculture.

Such grassroots-level programs reflect the growing momentum in rural India towards sustainable and science-driven farming. As nano fertilizers continue to gain popularity, they are expected to play a transformative role in Indian agriculture—boosting productivity while reducing environmental impact.
