As the Indian population continues to grow there will be an immense competition for natural resources while achieving food, nutritional, environmental and livelihood security in the country. In addition, the negative consequences of climate change become more evident in agriculture with exploitation of natural resources, decline in soil fertility, ground water levels to meet the ever increasing demands for food and nutritional requirements. To maintain sustainable balance between natural resources and the demand, immediate attention is needed in several areas viz., imbalanced use of fertilizers, declining soil organic carbon, lowering of water table, soil health, organic farming and climate change impact in agriculture sector.

Recent studies on soil biodiversity, rapid composting techniques, use of bio-filters for removal of heavy metals from compost, application of Nano sensors in agriculture to improve nutrient use efficiency, need based fortification of micro nutrients; availability of soil health card, conservation agriculture for enhancing soil health etc. will support sustainable management of natural resources in agriculture.

With a particular focus on scientific and technical understanding of natural resources management, this portal tries to incorporate stakeholders suggestions in achieving sustainable natural resources management.

गऊ से-पशुधन से hamare गांवो बचेंगे -गांवो की अर्थव्यवस्था बचेगी -पशुधन से न केवल दूध मिलता है, पर बैल-गाड़ी/हल (plough)से-डीजलकी बचत होती है। जैविक कृषि को बढ़ावा मिलता है रासायनिक खाद का प्रयोग काम होता है-कैंसर जैसी बीमारी से बचाव होता है और गांवो के जमीन की उर्वरता बरक़रार रहेगी नहीं तो वाही होगा --economy of village - rural india will collapse

Safe and clean food just like clean water is the right of a citizen. We can become self-reliant. The Govt. can promote organic kitchen/ terrace farming in each house. This is being successfully implemented by the Kerala Govt. Any scheme to succeed requires the cooperation of people. With proper advertisements, we can aware the women and get their cooperation. Central govt. can help a lot in this case by spreading awareness program, thereby empowering the women population to stand on their feet.

Hon'ble Prime Minister, We need to classify the use of water and energy in agricultural sector as priority now. These are two resources which are highly subsidized to the farmers and on other hand the these resources are highly essential for coninuous agricultural growth. Climate enabled crop choices, modern ICT enabled extension systems linked with food value chains and modern resource efficieny techniques would really enable farmers sustain their livelihoods.Some initiatives on www.cipt.in

Statutory bodies & other schemes framed with care are failing even in Era of Rule of Law.Why,The main cause is persons who man these bodies & schemes carve out exceptions to go against the dictates of laws & ravage the machinery enforcing the laws causing failure of whole things.Only Intelligent people who are honest should find a place as Public Officials otherwise even Banks will fail on stress tests.Theoretical practice Practically achieved is the best that can be achieved.

Sir, with increasing population the need of food security is urgent & as a stable nation it is our collective responsibility to prevent hunger & malnutrition. Towards this end we have to make agriculture viable with use of technology, drip irrigation, soil study & preservation, limit use of fertilisers and have a more robust research in cereal & pulse cultivation. Milk production and cattle rearing will also require a thrust. A cow in every rural home can sustain the family in several ways.
