A Proud Moment: Former Puducherry Chief Minister Harvests Iyarkai Uzhavan’s Kichili Samba Paddy

In a remarkable recognition of sustainable agriculture, the former Chief Minister of Puducherry visited the fields of Iyarkai Uzhavan and personally participated in harvesting the traditional Kichili Samba paddy variety. This moment marked a major milestone in our journey to revive native rice and promote natural farming practices.

The event brought together local farmers, agricultural scientists, and community leaders — all united by a common goal: to protect indigenous seeds and nurture chemical-free cultivation. The Chief Minister’s active involvement symbolized the government’s appreciation for eco-friendly farming models and the farmers’ tireless efforts to restore soil health and biodiversity.

At Iyarkai Uzhavan, we take pride in conserving traditional rice varieties like Kichili Samba — known for its resilience, nutrition, and heritage value. This field visit stands as a testament to how collaboration between farmers, policymakers, and natural farming advocates can create meaningful change.
