Amit Shah shares his 'retirement' plans
Ahmedabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said he will take up natural farming after retiring from public life and devote a considerable amount of time to reading Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas and Upanishads. The Home Minister shared his 'retirement plan' while speaking at the 'Sahkar Samvaad' event in Ahmedabad. Addressing the gathering, the Home Minister gave a sneak peek into his post-retirement life and said that after bowing out from public life, he will dedicate the rest of his life to the Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming. Natural farming, also called organic farming, is a science-based technique which has immense benefits, he said. The Home Minister said, 'Wheat grown with chemical fertilisers leads to various health issues, including many lifestyle disorders like BP, diabetes, thyroid and life-threatening diseases like cancer.' 'Natural farming not only helps in making the body disease-free but also reduces one's dependence on medicines,' he added. Shah further said that natural farming also enhances agricultural productivity and shared his own experience of recording a 1.5 times jump in agricultural produce at his farmland. Months ago, the Home Minister shared his weight-loss journey and spoke about how his health underwent a big transformation on the back of positive habits, including the right amount of food and water, coupled with exercise and adequate sleep. Speaking on World Liver Day, he said, 'I have achieved a very big change since May 2019 till now. By having the right amount of sleep, pure water, food and exercise, I have achieved much in life. In the last 4.5 years, I have become free from allopathic medicines,' he said. He also urged the youth to follow a regimen of two hours of physical exercise and six hours of sleep to ensure good health, stating that they have another 40-50 years to live and contribute to the nation's progress.

Amit Shah shares post-retirement plan: Vedas, Upanishads and farming
It's often said that politicians never retire. But after a lifetime of steering political tides, even stalwarts seemingly ponder the prospect of a slower life. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, one of India's busiest and most-active politicians, on Wednesday shared an unusually personal glimpse into his post-retirement also the Minister for Cooperation, is a central figure in Indian politics and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Seen as a tireless worker, much like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 60-year-old Shah surprised many with his reflections on what life beyond politics might look interacting with women and activists from Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, Shah said, "I have decided that after retirement, I will dedicate the rest of my life to the Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming." Though he didn't elaborate on how he plans to immerse himself in the Hindu scriptures, Shah offered passionate insights into farming, which he would take up too. He asserted that chemically-grown wheat contributes to serious health issues such as cancer, blood pressure, diabetes, and thyroid disorders."Wheat grown with chemical fertilisers often leads to cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and thyroid issues. We didn't know much about this earlier. Eating food free from chemical fertilisers means you may not need any medicines," Shah said during the Sahkar Samvaad, in farming, he said, not only reduces disease but also improves crop productivity."I have been practising natural farming on my own farm, and the yields are nearly 1.5 times higher," said the Home emphasised natural farming's ecological benefits too, saying, "When it rains heavily, water usually flows out of the farm. But with organic farming, not a single drop goes out – it seeps into the soil. That's because natural farming allows catchways to form. Excessive use of fertilisers has destroyed those catchways".Shah rued over the impact of synthetic fertiliser on farming."Earthworms produce natural fertilisers. But synthetic fertilisers have killed them off. These creatures are nature's own factories of urea, DAP (Diammonium Phosphate), and MPK (Monopotassium Phosphate)," Shah the event, he also spoke about his journey as a minister, emphasising how the Cooperation Ministry holds a special place for him."When I became the Home Minister of the country, everyone told me I had received a very important department. But the day I was appointed Cooperation Minister, I felt I had been given an even greater responsibility – one that serves the country's farmers, the poor, villages, and animals".The event also spotlighted testimonials from women cooperative workers.- EndsMust Watch
