Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) working president Praveen Togadia has said that if the poverty alleviation campaign is to be made successful, the country should be able to produce enough food.

He was leading a seminar on propagating organic farming at Town Hall here on Wednesday.

Mr. Togadia said farmers should spread the message of organic farming, and a farm culture should be developed in villages.

Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan, who inaugurated the seminar, also stressed the importance of promoting organic farming. He said the SNDP Yogam would take the initiative to help farmers spread organic farming.
