Currently, natural farming is being practiced on 10,000 acres, and this number is steadily increasing. He informed that the Subtropical Fruit Centre in Ladwa was established in 2016 under Indo-Israel technology. Starting with 10,000 saplings, the centre now prepares one lakh saplings annually for distribution to farmers.

If any issues arise during implementation, the schemes are revised accordingly to ensure farmers benefit.
