The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah performed Bhumi Pujan and laid the foundation stone of the fifth unit of IFFCO Nano Urea Plant at Deoghar, Jharkhand. 

 

On the occasion of IFFCO Nano Urea Plant’s foundation stone laying ceremony, Member of Parliament from Godda Nishikant Dubey, IFFCO Chairman, Dilip Sanghani, and many other dignitaries were also present.

 

In his address, Amit Shah said, "The foundation stone of the production unit of Nano Urea Plant of IFFCO has been laid here. Liquid urea is very important for the conservation of the soil of our country. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made land conservation a major concern and gave priority to all land conservation works, be it natural farming, organic farming or speeding up the process from research to production of Nano Urea. 

 

Amit Shah said that with the construction of the Deoghar unit, about 6 crore liquid urea bottles will be manufactured here every year, which will reduce our dependence on the import of Urea and India will become self- reliant."

 

The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that this small bottle of 500 ml would become a substitute for a full bag of urea. In many places in the country, farmers spray urea as well as liquid urea, which damages not only the crops but also the land. 

 

Amit Shah said that if the use of chemical and urea fertilizers is not eliminated from agriculture soon, then like in many countries of the world, the productivity of the land will be adversely affected. 

 

He said that IFFCO, a farmers' cooperative, has made liquid nano urea for the first time in the world and is now moving towards DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate).

 

The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that today liquid urea is being exported to 5 countries. 

 

He said that this liquid urea made by IFFCO will not only help the farmers of India but also of the world. Earlier, India used to import urea, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revived many urea factories and today this small liquid urea factory being built on 30 acres will create an alternative to imported 6 crore urea fertilizer bags, making India self-reliant in this field. Due to this, the land of the farmer will be protected and production will also increase. 

 

Extending his best wishes to the farmers of entire Eastern India, Shah said that this liquid nano urea factory would be useful in increasing the production in the fields of farmers not only in Jharkhand but also in Bihar, Orissa, and West Bengal.
