IIL conducts Product Stewardship Day across India.
Insecticides (India) Ltd (IIL), a crop protection and nutrition company, conducted a pan-India Product Stewardship Day recently. The initiative featured more than 425 meetings in different geographies, where farmers and channel partners were trained about the safe and responsible use of crop protection chemicals with key precautions to be followed reiterated to them.
With the participation of more than 26,000 farmers, the programme aimed to reinforce responsible farming practices and support sustainable agricultural growth. Some of the meetings under this initiative were organised in association with KVKs (Krishi Vigyan Kendras) at their respective centres as well.
Quoting Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director, IIL, a media statement said agriculture is the backbone of the nation, and empowering farmers with the right knowledge is essential for sustainable growth. Responsible use of crop protection solutions ensures not only higher yields but also safer food production and environmental balance.
Helping make informed choices
“With this initiative, we aim to reach thousands of farmers, educating them on best practices in a day, in addition to our regular safety programmes, just to highlight its importance. At IIL, we believe stewardship is a shared responsibility,” Aggarwal said.
Dushyant Sood, Chief Marketing Officer of IIL, said: “At IIL, we believe stewardship is a shared responsibility. By equipping them with essential training practically with safety kits can make a difference, we enable them to make informed choices that benefit their crops, soil health, and overall well-being of every one from grower to consumer.”
Crop protection solutions play a crucial role in enhancing productivity by safeguarding crops from different weeds, insects and diseases. However, their application requires adherence to safety measures to prevent environmental safety and ensure users and public well-being. Through this unique pan-India initiative, IIL seeks to empower farmers with practical knowledge, promoting efficiency while minimizing hazards, the statement said.
