The Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare jointly launched training of Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana- National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY–NRLM)’s Krishi Sakhis for promotion of Natural Farming. The initiative aimed to train and certify 50,000 Krishi Sakhis in a phased manner by National Centre for Organic and Natural Farming (NCONF), a subordinate office of the MoA&FW as the Nodal institution.  The transfer of technology from labs to land is critical and Community Resource Persons (CRPs) play a vital role in transferring technology from lab to land. CRPs can handhold small and marginal farmers in enhancing their productivity through Natural Farming.
