This is the first time that Deputy Commissioners of the state have jointly visited outside the state to know the technique of any model. In the presence of Governor Acharya Devvrat, these Deputy Commissioners closely monitored natural farming practice and saw this practically implemented in 180 acres of farm.  Deputy Commissioners of all the districts of Himachal Pradesh excluding Kullu and Lahul-Spiti visited the entire Gurukul farm along with Governor Acharya Devvrat on foot and saw that whatever Acharya Devvrat said about his farming farm has actually been  implemented here. In fact, Gurukul's agricultural farm is an outstanding example of zero budget natural farming. Deputy Commissioners said that they will try to implement the Zero budget natural farming model wherever possible.

            Acharya Devvrat said that zero budget natural farming is the only option which can make the farmers of the country not only financially viable, but also can be an ideal for global warming.

Prior to this, all the guests visited various projects of Gurukul and enjoyed the performance of Mahakhambha Yoga by Gurukul Brahmacharis.

This not only results in economic loss but also with the use of urea and pesticides DAP is devastating the fertility of soil. He said that the excessive use of chemicals is also affecting financial condition of farmers. Natural farming is the only solution for the farmers to improve their economy and social status.
