The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has assured farmers that it could come up with solutions to problems faced by farmers with assistance from the SASTRA, a Deemed to be University.

This assurance follows discussions the farmers had with the ONGC and the SASTRA-Technology Business Incubation (SASTRA-TBI) centre during a recent four-day free training programme on ‘Sustainable livelihood in agriculture through organic and technology-based farming.’ According to the University release, the objective was to motivate and educate the benefits of organic farming and the use of technology to improve the yield and thereby get more income from agricultural operations.

The programme was designed in such a way to cover organic farming, herbal medicine for livelihood and modern technology in farming. The participants were taken to an organic farm at Keeranur in Pudukottai district to understand, experience and explore the organic farming activities.
