Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Use of Chemical Fertilizers
We are aware that technical development introduced in agriculture has helped a lot in improving the productivity and also help farmers. But it is observed that things has been overdone and we are facing the repercussions today.
Chemical fertilizers have acted as a boon initially but their excessive use has led to a disastrous result on agricultural produce. Such usage has led to soil erosion, immunity of pests leading to more usage which has led to a vicious cycle, poor quality produce, water contamination due to excess nitrogen usage etc. It is a health hazard too when not used in proper balanced quantities.
The need of the hour is to resort to natural products like organic fertilizers. They might work slower than the chemical fertilizers but they have a positive permanent impact on the soil texture in the long run, improve the water retaining capacity of the soil, thus regaining the fertility of the soil and also preventing soil erosion.
The farmers also need to be given enough training to understand the functions well to be encouraged to use organic fertilizers and also trained for proper usage of the same.
I hope my efforts to reach out to you will reap rewards to benefit everyone.
Yours sincerely

SUBJECT:
(1) REQUEST YOUR URGENT INTERVENTION TO ENSURE JUSTICE FOR THE RUINED POMEGRENATE FARMERS OF HANUMANGARH DISTRICT, RAJASTHAN, WHO ARE THREATENING MASS SUICIDE AFTER FAILING TO GUEST JUSTICE SO FAR
(2) REQUEST THAT YOU KINDLY GRANT A MEETING WITH A DELEGATION OF AFFECTED FARMERS OF HANUMANGARH DISTRICT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Sir,
This is to draw your attention to the terrible plight of pomegranate farmers in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan.
Hundreds of farmers of Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan who planted pomegranate saplings in their farms since 2005-2006 have gone bankrupt. For the past 4 years, they have been demanding that the concerned agricultural and horticultural departments of the Central and State governments fulfill their promises to the farmers. However, the requests of the farmers have fallen on deaf years. As the farmers say, there has been a lot of paper action and passing of the buck between different ministries, but no relief on the ground.
It may be noted that in 2005-2006, as part of the plan of the National Horticultural Board (Rashtriya Bagvani Board) to promote Horticulture farming, the representatives of this Board came to encourage the farmers of Hanumangarh to take up Pomegranate farming. They did a massive promotional campaign including seminars, and offered all kinds of incentives, as well as created a rosy picture of how much monies the farmers would make from switching from traditional crops to Pomegranate farming. They organized training camps. They distributed literature in which it was explicitly mentioned that Hanumangarh district was in every way extremely
Thanking you
