Prime Minister Modi presented the first-ever National Creators Award at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi on March 08 2024, marking a significant step in recognizing and celebrating the contributions of creative individuals towards positive societal change. The event also featured a brief interaction between the Prime Minister and the award recipients, wherein Modi commended their invaluable role in nation-building.

Among the distinguished winners was Lakshya Dabas, honored with the Most Impactful Agri Creator Award for his pioneering efforts in revolutionizing agricultural practices through innovation and technology. Although unable to attend in person, Dabas' brother accepted the award on his behalf, emphasizing the imperative of natural farming in India. He highlighted their initiative in training over 30,000 farmers in natural farming techniques, aimed at enhancing crop protection and sustainability.

The Prime Minister expressed his admiration for Dabas' visionary approach and encouraged him to engage with Gujarat Governor, Acharya Devvrat, famous for his advocacy of natural farming. Modi suggested that Dabas must explore Devvrat's educational resources, including YouTube videos, to further enrich his understanding of sustainable agriculture. Additionally, Modi sought Dabas' collaboration in dispelling misconceptions surrounding natural and organic farming, recognizing the potential for widespread adoption of these practices.
