farmers should use natural fertilizers such as cow’s humus in their field.
He suggested that in order
to increase production we must use natural fertilizers. As a token of love and
gratitude a memento was presented to Mr. K.V. Govindharajan by Mr. A. Somasundharam.
Then Mr K.V. Govindharajan began his special address. He said that it is very
important to use natural fertilizers and most of the farm land has degraded due
to artificial fertilizers after the Green Revolution. Endosulphon and parthenium must be banned in
Tamil Nadu. He added that White Revolution in India was the main cause for the death
of many indigenous cow breeds. We must take steps to protect these breeds. He
said that Prosopis Juliflora must be removed from Tamil Nadu. It absorbs lot of
water and affects the surrounding plants. He suggested that banyan tree, peepal
tree and Tulasi plant must be planted. Then Mrs. Jayalakshmi Govindharajan expressed
her ideas. She said that most of the food that we consume is adulterated and so
it causes diseases. She said that pulses are rich in protein but no one is
making use of that. Hence consuming it would reduce the sugar level and
cholesterol. Then Mr. A. Somasundharam, Assistant Professsor., Mechatronics
Department., Kongu Engineering College presented the memento to Mrs Jayalakshmi
Govindharajan. Finally Mr.A.Somasundharam, Assistant Professsor., Mechatronics
