WHAT: Start a dialogue and appeal to all Takhats and Gurdwaras in Punjab for Organic Langar and Organic Farming on Gurdwara lands and support Punjabi farmer with chemical-free farming and financial growth.
WHY: EcoSikh has been promoting Nanak’s Way of Farming aka organic farming and healthy lifestyle in Punjab. Our recent success stories include Golden Temple switched to Organic Langar and Akhand Kirtani Jatha served organic langar on Vaisakhi. To increase the farmer interest and help the demand-supply of organic food in Punjab, we are working with farmers to establish and support organic farming practices.
Washington based EcoSikh and its team in Jalandhar has appealed to all Sikh Takhats and Gurdwaras to start serving pesticide-free, nutritious Organic langar. This step will help to stop the disastrous pollution of Punjab’s land and water due to over usage of pesticides and chemicals. The tradition of langar since the time of Gurus was to provide nutritious and healthy food to underprivileged and downtrodden. Mata Khivi ji (Guru Angad Dev ji’s wife) always focused on promoting health besides making langar a major tool to practice and promote equality. EcoSikh Global President, Dr. Rajwant Singh stated, “Organic langar is a win-win situation for the Gurdwara committee, for sangat and for the farmers. It’s a long term initiative to improve health of Punjabis and their land.” See our previous campaigns for organic langar here.

Project Update
EcoSikh held its first ever state level Volunteer Induction gathering at Gurdwara Sarabha Nagar Ludhiana. The purpose of this meeting was to create a network of environmental leaders from all over Punjab who would organize activities for the betterment of state’s worsening ecology.
Over 100 young and old volunteers from Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Jalalabad, Ferozepur, and Chandigarh gathered for the 4-hour training sessions by the environmentalists and entrepreneurs. During the session, they were given an understanding of the environmental urgency of Punjab and well-planned strategy was rolled out to engage the communities via awareness and steps to reduce wastage of water, air pollution and use of Styrofoam (thermocol) and plastic garbage at homes and places of worship.
EcoSikh is working hard to spread the message of Guru Har Rai Ji and engaging communities to protect the precious air, water and the earth. 
Over 40 young Green warriors from EcoSikh and Initiators of Change team conducted a symbolic clean-up and a shout-out to public for a garbage free Punjab and shunning the use of Styrofoam (thermocol) and plastic disposable ware
250 youngsters registered with EcoSikh at the Techno Cultural festival at Guru Nanak Engineering College Ludhiana to spread environmental awareness.
100 young volunteers from all over Punjab joined EcoSikh at Volunteer Induction Day in Ludhiana.
