NATURAL AND CONSCIOUS FARMING

➢ PEDAGOGY

Natural farming has been recently initiated inside the Puducherry central prison as a part
of prison reformation project. Sri Aurobindo Society has played a major role in bringing the

idea, application and the initiation of natural and conscious farming inside the prison. Right
from the buying of equipments and seeds to drawing the layout and action plan of the project,

SAS has made all the required arrangements in order to make it convenient for the prisoners to
efficiently maintain the crops.

Swami Vetri Selvan who has a natural farm near Pondicherry and also renowned for

setting up natural farms across the world has helped to frame the layout for the farm in the
prison and has been a constant support in terms of the technical knowledge and know-how of

making the whole idea and its application natural and conscious with a deep spiritual basis.
