The Art of Living and Kotak Mahindra Lead Natural Farming Movement across Anand, Gujarat
Save Farmer & Agriculture in India . Seeds of change were sown as 700 farmers gathered at The Art of Living Ashram, Vasad for a Natural Farming Awareness Seminar In Anand district, agriculture is not merely an occupation; it is inheritance, memory and survival. Farming here is largely passed down through generations - land transferred within families, seasons remembered instinctively, soil understood by touch. Farmers can sense when the earth begins to lose vitality. They recognise subtle shifts in rainfall patterns. They feel the strain when fertiliser bills rise faster than crop returns. The Anand initiative was designed to address these realities from the ground up. From Conversations to Change The programme began quietly with door-to-door engagement. Trained Local Resource Persons (LRPs), supported by The Art of Living Social Projects trainers, visited villages and spoke directly with farmers. They discussed cropping patterns, input expenditure, pest pressures and debt cycles. They assessed how many were already experimenting with natural methods and how many were open to transition. Villages have so far been systematically covered through surveys and awareness sessions. Training combined conceptual clarity with practical application. Farmers were introduced to: *Indigenous seed preservation *Cow-based formulations using desi breeds *Preparation of Beejamrut, Jeevamrut and Ghanjeevamrut *Natural pest management techniques *Soil regeneration methods *Post-harvest handling and improved market linkages. Economic viability remained central. By preparing biological inputs from locally available resources, farmers reduce dependency on purchased chemicals. Lower input costs mean reduced financial risk and greater stability. Intercropping and diversification were encouraged not as trends, but as proven strategies to strengthen soil ecology and stabilise income streams. Restoring Scientific Confidence One of the most practical interventions was the distribution of five portable soil-testing devices to two FPOs. Previously, soil samples were sent to distant laboratories, with results taking several days. Now, farmers receive detailed reports within 30 minutes. Nutrient deficiencies and imbalances become visible immediately. This shift is significant. When decisions are informed by real-time soil data, natural farming becomes evidence-based rather than perception-driven. It allows farmers to calibrate inputs and manage land scientifically. Collaboration with Anand Agriculture University further strengthened this approach. Technical sessions on nematode control using natural formulations such as Neemastra and Agniastra reinforced that traditional knowledge and modern scientific validation can complement one another. Building District-Level Momentum Awareness extended beyond formal training. Village meetings were supplemented by street theatre (nukkad nataks), educational film screenings and distribution of structured Gujarati manuals. At a major district-level natural farming conference held at the Art of Living Ashram in Vasad, 700 farmers gathered to engage in detailed discussions, more than 500 manuals were distributed, providing participants with structured guidance to support implementation at the field level. Youth engagement added further depth. Members of the Youth Leadership Training Programme (YLTP) supported mobilisation efforts, while school-level initiatives such as “Chote Kisan - Nurturing Nature” introduced environmental responsibility at an early age through plantation drives and seed-ball preparation. Institutional Alignment The project team met Honourable Governor of Gujarat, Acharya Devvrat, at Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar. He expressed strong support for the initiative and emphasised the urgency of reducing chemical dependency in agriculture. Subsequent review meetings under his leadership have ensured alignment with state-level priorities and strengthened institutional backing for the campaign. Such support has reinforced both credibility and continuity. Evidence of Impact The outcomes are measurable: 1,500+ farmers trained More than 70% actively practising natural farming methods 45+ farmers recognised with the ‘Krushi Ratna Award’ Model farms emerging across the district Value-addition equipment provided to FPOs Farmers report reduced cultivation costs, improved soil fertility, enhanced moisture retention and greater resilience. During the excessive rainfall experienced across Gujarat in 2024, natural farming practitioners were better able to protect and salvage crops compared to neighbouring conventional fields. While no agricultural system is immune to extreme weather, healthier soil biology and diversified cropping provided tangible advantages. Perhaps most telling is the shift in perception. Natural farming is increasingly assessed on performance, cost-efficiency and soil response - not dismissed as experimental. Conversations about chemical-free produce are taking place within households and village gatherings, indicating a broader cultural shift. A Structural Transition “Agriculture is the backbone of human existence. For any civilisation to prosper, agriculture has to be healthy and sustainable. We need to get our focus back on agriculture which is the primary industry,” shares Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. In Anand, this perspective is steadily translating into practice. The Natural Farming Awareness Campaign in Anand is not positioned as a short-term scheme or a simple replacement for chemical fertilisers. It addresses three interconnected challenges: ecological degradation, rising cultivation costs and declining farmer confidence. By integrating grassroots engagement, scientific tools, institutional collaboration and youth participation, the initiative offers a structured model for transition rooted in field realities. For Anand district, the process is ongoing. But the direction is unmistakable. When farmers regain control over inputs, understand their soil scientifically and work collectively, agriculture moves beyond survival. It becomes viable and sustainable - by design.

Ahmedabad University Reimagines the MBA for New-Age Roles in a Connected Global Economy
The Ahmedabad MBA , a new management programme designed to respond to structural shifts reshaping business and society. The programme has been developed in recognition of the profound disruptions caused by rapid technological transformation, shifting geopolitical dynamics, climate change, and large-scale urbanisation, particularly in emerging economies such as India. The Ahmedabad MBA: Built for High Impact Roles in a Connected World Over the past decade, businesses across industries have been challenged by new organisational forms, digital platforms, and data-driven operating models. Traditional structures built around hierarchies and incremental change are increasingly giving way to agile, cross-functional systems that require new skills and new ways of thinking. Roles within organisations are evolving rapidly, demanding technological fluency, interdisciplinary understanding, and the ability to navigate uncertainty. Professor Pankaj Chandra, Vice Chancellor of Ahmedabad University , said, “ Business today operates in an environment defined by complexity and interconnectedness. Technology is transforming how organisations function, geopolitics is influencing supply chains and capital flows, climate change is shaping regulatory and strategic decisions, and urbanisation is redefining markets and consumers. Management education must respond to these realities with intellectual depth and structural innovation .” The Ahmedabad MBA has been designed within a comprehensive research university environment, enabling students to draw upon expertise across management, engineering, arts and sciences, public health, and technology domains. This interdisciplinary foundation reflects the growing need for managers who can integrate perspectives from economics, social sciences, computing, sustainability, and policy into business decision-making. The programme is structured around four core capabilities. It emphasises the development of an entrepreneurial mindset that enables students to identify opportunity within uncertainty. It builds technological fluency so that graduates understand not only digital tools but also the strategic implications of emerging technologies. It integrates interdisciplinary learning to deepen understanding of markets, institutions, and society. It also cultivates the ability to work in diverse teams, recognising that contemporary problem-solving requires collaboration across varied backgrounds and expertise. Students in The Ahmedabad MBA have the flexibility to shape their academic pathways in line with the roles they aspire to pursue. A student who wishes to become a technology product manager can complement marketing courses with coursework and projects in artificial intelligence, networking, and design from the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Those aiming to work in the health industry can integrate their management learning with courses in One Health and Data Science in Health from the Bagchi School of Public Health. A student interested in finance within the creative industries may combine business education with coursework in Performing and Visual Arts from the School of Arts and Sciences or pursue specialised study at the GIFT International FinTech Institute established by Ahmedabad University with IIT Gandhinagar. Similarly, a student aspiring to be a Sustainability Manager in a global manufacturing firm can undertake courses and projects with The Climate Institute to design sustainable systems, processes, and materials. Field projects form a key component of the programme, enabling students to integrate classroom learning with real-world challenges. This experiential emphasis aims to ensure that graduates are prepared not only to analyse complex problems but also to design and implement practical solutions. Career preparation is supported by a highly networked Career Development Centre that works closely with industry, startups, family businesses, and research-driven organisations. Graduates of the Ahmedabad MBA pursue careers across core functional areas such as finance, marketing, operations, and product management, as well as interdisciplinary and emerging domains including fintech, analytics, entrepreneurship, sustainability, advanced manufacturing, and the creative industries. The programme is designed to support diverse career ambitions aligned with both India’s growth and the realities of the global economy. Ahmedabad University believes that the future of management education lies within strong university ecosystems that encourage dialogue across disciplines. Globally, many highly regarded business schools are embedded within comprehensive universities for precisely this reason. Such environments allow management students to engage with scholars in sociology, psychology, engineering, climate science, and public policy, thereby deepening the intellectual foundations of business practice. “ The manager of the future must understand systems rather than silos ,” Professor Chandra added. “ They must be comfortable navigating technological change, regulatory uncertainty, global interdependence, and social responsibility. The Ahmedabad MBA seeks to prepare such whole managers who can think critically, act responsibly, and lead in conditions of change .” Admissions to The Ahmedabad MBA are now open .
