The Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Organisation (Ten Karma Dharma Program) of Nayagarh district successfully hosted a practical workshop focused on agriculture and commerce at the Sri Aurobindo Integrated Education Centre.
The event brought together local farmers and community members, emphasizing the crucial link between farming practices, waste management, and overall well-being. Key figures leading the discussions included Kashi Nath Das, Head of the Agriculture Department, and Sukant Bhai, Head of the Odagaon Block Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Organization and a dedicated environmentalist ("Prakriti Bandhu").
Sukant Bhai powerfully connected the workshop's goals to the vision of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother for a "Divine World." He stressed the fundamental role of organic farming in building this future. His interactive session highlighted two critical areas:
Kashi Nath Das provided valuable insights from the government agriculture perspective, supporting the shift towards sustainable practices and offering practical guidance to the attending farmers. The workshop combined theoretical knowledge with practical demonstrations, particularly on managing agricultural waste effectively.

The enthusiastic participation signals a growing local commitment to embracing organic methods and responsible resource management for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.

- The Role of Organic Farming: Sukant Bhai detailed how adopting chemical-free, organic methods is essential not just for producing healthier food, but as a cornerstone for creating a more harmonious and sustainable world.
- Transforming Agricultural Waste: A major focus was the innovative and beneficial use of common farm waste products like straw ("Nada") and cattle manure ("Pala"). Instead of burning or discarding these materials, the workshop promoted techniques to convert them into valuable resources like compost or fodder, reducing pollution and enhancing soil fertility.
- Toxin-Free People: Reduced exposure to pesticides and pollutants means healthier individuals.
- Healthy People & Healthy Thinking: Improved physical health fosters clearer, more positive mindsets.
- Healthy Society & Healthy Earth: Collective health and sound thinking create stronger communities and a more resilient planet.
- * Ultimately, these steps pave the way towards realizing the highest potential for both the planet and its inhabitants – a vision of a truly divine existence.
