Imphal, September 16 2022:
A year-long "Let's make Manipur an organic state" campaign was launched by Ching Tam Farmer Producer Company chairman Ningthoujam Kumar Mangang during a programme organised by Khallei Sillup (KHASIL), Manipur at the eastern gate of Kangla, here, on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Khasil president Maibam Sunil explained that if one household were to rear at least one cow, the organic fertiliser generated will be able to make Manipur an organic state in the next 2-3 years.
During the campaign, the people, particularly the farmers will be made aware of the harmful effects of chemical fertilisers and how to prepare organic fertilisers, thereby helping to realise the dream of a self-sustainable Manipur state, he informed.
During the campaign, wall posters and hoarding campaigns along with street corner and camera meetings will be carried out in different parts of the state.
