Vice-Chancellor of Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Dr. Rajeshwar Chandel visited our studio for an inspiring podcast episode on the future of natural farming in India — especially how the youth of Himachal Pradesh are leading the change.

In this powerful conversation, we discussed:
How natural farming is not just reviving traditional agriculture but also solving the unemployment crisis in Himachal
The role of Natural Farming in the National One Health Mission and Viksit Bharat 2047 vision
How the Himachal government is supporting natural farmers with fair pricing and subsidies
Inspiring real-life success stories of Himachali youth who chose farming as a career:

✅ Ashish Rana – Dragon Fruit Farmer from Kangra

✅ Ravi Sharma – Floriculturist from Chail
✅ Mandeep Verma – Kiwi & Apple Farmer from Shilli, Solan
✅ Dimple Panjta & Jittu Chauhan – Young icons in the natural farming movement

We also talked about how natural farming improves soil health, promotes sustainability, reduces chemical dependency, and creates income opportunities for rural youth.
