More Than 1 Lakh Farmers Shifted to Tree-Based Farming & Increased Their Income, says Juhi Chawla

According to Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla, 1.25 lakh farmers have switched to tree-based farming, and their income and output have quadrupled as a result of the Cauvery Calling Movement, and she wanted the success to spread throughout the country. 

On Tuesday, she visited Mevani village in Gobichettipalayam to see the ground impact of the ambitious movement to revitalize the Cauvery River. She stated that it was only through interactions with farmers that she learned about the significant changes that had occurred in their lives and the environment. 

"Much of the information was unexpected and gratifying," she told journalists. She stated that farmers who sold their property owing to drought and family circumstances have switched to tree-based farming as a result of the initiative, which has given them new hope. I am delighted to learn that the income and production of many farmers have grown several times more. They claimed that not just the economy, but also the land's soil fertility, has increased," she noted. 

The actor has promised to raise funds for one lakh trees and has started giving seedlings to family, friends, and coworkers on significant occasions. 

She also requested her friends to pledge trees for the movement on her own birthday. Many farmers from surrounding villages participated along with their families in the event at a farm owned by Senthil Kumar.
