Ditching chemical farming, the former Minister promoted the organic way
K.R. Gouri was Minister for Agriculture in 2001 when, at the Onam celebrations of the Udarasiromani Road Residents’ Association in the capital city, she saw terrace cultivation undertaken by association president and former director of the Farm Information Bureau T.K. Bhaskara Panicker. That was a time when agriculture was mostly concentrated in rural areas and there was little cultivation happening in cities. But, inspired by Mr. Panicker, she hit upon the idea of implementing terrace cultivation on a larger scale in cities. Mr. Panicker’s produce was grown organically, and the results were there for her to see. Ditching chemical farming, Ms. Gouri decided to go the organic way.
