Gujarat Guv bats for natural farming at Bar Assn event

Governor of Gujarat and Maharashtra Acharya Devvrat stressed on the importance of natural farming, stating that it enriched the soil, whereas chemical-based agriculture led to land degradation.

The Governor also explored the deep interconnection between ecology and justice, emphasising how ethical values, natural balance and legal systems were fundamentally complementary.

Dr Vijendra Singh Ahlawat, former two-time Chairman of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana, presented an informative overview of the history and legacy of the Rohtak Bar Association, shedding light on its role in the development of the justice system and its contributions to social equity.

Earlier, the programme commenced with welcome address by Deepak Hooda, president of the bar association, who highlighted the relevance of the chosen theme in the current context. His address set the tone for deep reflection on the relationship between environmental sustainability and legal frameworks.
