How to Overcome the Distressed Soil?

Out of 160 million hectares of arable land in this country, 104 million hectares of land is right now labeled as distressed. In the Ganga Basin, which accounts for twenty-five percent of India's geography and thirty-three percent of agriculture, we have removed ninety-two percent of green cover in the last fifty years. The only way you can put back organic content into the soil is by the leaves of the trees and the animal waste. Pretentious agriculture is happening. If we don't change this, whatever other aspirations we have, everything will fail. It doesn't matter what business, industry, what you develop, we'll have serious issues.
