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.”
