NSAB member calls for reverse migration to villages
National Security Advisory Board member G. Satheesh Reddy has advocated for reverse migration to rural areas to revitalize the agricultural economy. The initiative, Project Chittoor, aims to create sustainable rural incomes through integrated farming and agro-wellness tourism.
Why it matters
Promoting rural development and sustainable agriculture is critical for food security and reducing urban migration pressures in India.
National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) member G. Satheesh Reddy on Saturday called for reverse migration to villages, stressing the need to improve farm incomes and revive the rural economy.
According to a press release, Mr. Reddy was speaking after launching the Atria Foundation’s Project Chittoor at the Agro Wellness Centre in Thirumalarajapuram of Palasamudram mandal. He said that India, which once exported agricultural produce, was now importing pulses and other basic crops, underlining the neglect of farmers and villages.
He called for greater adoption of natural and organic farming to increase farm output while making rural areas healthier and more attractive for people to reside.
