Scientists of KVK Dhalai highlighted the importance of maintaining soil fertility and conserving natural resources to ensure long-term agricultural productivity and profitability. Farmers were encouraged to make effective use of Soil Health Cards, adopt integrated farming systems, recycle crop residues and apply fertilizers in a balanced manner for improving soil health and sustaining crop productivity under changing climatic conditions.

The campaign has received an enthusiastic response from farmers across the district, with large numbers actively participating in training programmes and field demonstrations. Farmers expressed keen interest in learning scientific approaches for improving soil health, reducing input costs and enhancing farm sustainability.
