Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Saturday that the government has already released Rs 100 crore for the ‘Save Soil’ movement launched by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
Addressing the gathering during the inauguration of the ‘Naga Mantapa’ built by the Isha Yoga Center near the Jalari Narasimhaswamy Hill, Chikkaballapur district, Bommai said that the government would release more funds for the global movement, reports Deccan Herald.
Bommai said, “With the awareness that saving the soil leads to saving human beings, Sadhguru launched the campaign. He has also aimed at doubling the income of the Chikkaballapur farmers,” and added that the initiatives of Sadhguru would be expanded to all over Karnataka.
Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, who also spoke on the occasion, said, “Sadhguru started the center in Chikkaballapur as requested by me, within a short time. Farmers should visit the center and take up initiatives that are implemented at the center.”
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev said that there are also plans to open Sanskrit and Yoga schools as well as a leadership academy. “The Isha Foundation will also constitute a Farmer Producer Organization to help increase the income of the farmers. The farmers’ income has increased by 800 per cent, with the formation of similar other organizations,” he added.
The Sadhguru, it is said, launched the ‘Save Soil’ movement to get the people from across the world to overcome the soil crisis by working together for soil health. It also urges leaders of all nations to frame policies to help increase organic content in cultivable soil.
A 112-foot tall statue of Adiyogi was installed in just about four months, said Sadhguru.
