    Puducherry

    Sri Aurobindo Society's sustainable agriculture efforts encompass two key programs. AHAR, Agro-homeopathy for Sustainable Agriculture, employs innovative research to utilize homoeopathic medicine as both fertilizers and pesticides for plants, eliminating harmful chemical usage in farming and yielding purer crops. This approach also reduces farming costs, ensuring economic sustainability. Research investigates its impact on various crops, soil types, and pest control. AuroKrishi aims to empower ex-servicemen, women, and youth to become agro-entrepreneurs through training in sustainable farming methods, including organic farming, aquaponics, beekeeping, and more. This initiative serves the dual purpose of providing self-employment opportunities for ex-servicemen in their native villages and promoting technology-enabled, economically viable organic farming.
