Inspired by Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), nearly 60 members of Utthistha Bharatha, a youth voluntary organisation of Bengaluru actively dedicated their Sunday (June 28) to prepare nearly 5,000 ‘Seed Balls’ in outskirts of the city. They also planted some plants near Nelamangala.
“Seed Ball is a unique concept in which seed of a plant are carefully covered with mud (soil) with nutritive content. It is thrown to bare area, where there is no vegetation at all. Upon falling on the ground during the rainy season the mud coat dissolves and seeds get germinated establishing its growth. Nearly 40-50 per cent is the chance of survival,” says Shri Gangadhar Kasaraghatta, State organising secretary of BKS Karnataka. Shri Gangadhar has been promoting the seed ball campaign since last two years. As a result, more than 8,000 plants have been grown in Karnataka through the initiative, especially in Tumakuru, Kolar, Doddaballapura, Ramanagara districts.

Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), the country’s premier labour organisation, has suggested the Union Government to extend employment security to the landless labourers and replace the word ‘farm labourer’ with the ‘landless farm labourer’, ‘farm related artisans’ in the Land Acquisition Bill. The suggestions were given to the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Bill on June 22 in Delhi.
The BMS also suggested that proper steps should be taken for skill development of landless labourers and if it needs, amend the laws also for it. Apart from many other suggestions the BMS also suggested to create a national land use authority with immediate effect. It was also suggested that about 18,023 acre land which was acquired for SEZ but has not yet been utilised so far be acquired again and properly utilised. Apart from it, around two lakh acre lands lying unutilised with the PSUs should be utilised after reacquiring it. The BMS also suggested to use the land which was acquired 68 years back for industries and which have been closed down. It will be a valid suggestion as there are already basic facilities like water, electricity, roads, banks etc there.
