Khet Bachao Abhiyan (Balanced-Fertiliser Campaign)
Khet Bachao Abhiyan is a nationwide campaign of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare that teaches farmers to apply fertiliser in balance, guided by a soil test, alongside crop diversification and soil and water conservation. It is in the news because a 2 November 2026 backgrounder set out the scale of its Rabi round, which runs from 22 October to 30 November and aims at about 50 lakh farmers in 34 States and Union Territories.
