Each winter, approximately 30 million tons of crop residue are burned in North Indian states, significantly increasing pollution levels and resulting in severe health issues. Project Bhoomi raises farmers’ awareness of sustainable agricultural practices, urging them to abstain from field burning. It aims to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, maintain soil quality, and conserve stubble using both in-situ and ex-situ methods. By facilitating access to machinery providers and Custom Hiring Centres (CHCs), the initiative enhances stubble management efficiency. The program also promotes indigenous crop residue management methodologies using modern techniques and includes live demonstrations.
