At Sri Sri Institute of Agricultural Sciences & Technology Trust (SSIAST), we believe that farming is not just about food — it is about dignity, empowerment, and creating thriving rural communities. Inspired by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, our community initiatives bring farmers together, offering them knowledge, support, and platforms to grow — spiritually, socially, and financially.

"In every harvest, SSKM celebrates not just the crops, but the empowerment, dignity, and spirit of our farmers."

Kisan Samriddhi Mahotsav
A Festival of Prosperity, A Movement for Change
The Kisan Samriddhi Mahotsav is an annual celebration held in the divine presence of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji, inspiring farmers to see agriculture not just as a livelihood but as a sacred contribution to society.
Organized in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bangalore, and Haryana, the Mahotsav has brought together thousands of farmers every year, uniting them in the shared vision of natural farming, sustainable living, and community empowerment.
What makes it special:
Annual Confluence of Farmers: Thousands of farmers gather each year, receiving both practical knowledge and spiritual upliftment.
Natural Farming at the Core: Live demonstrations, success stories, and training sessions encourage adoption of chemical-free, eco-friendly practices.
Guidance of Gurudev: The presence and wisdom of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji bring inspiration, hope, and a deeper sense of pride to farmers.
Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration: Scientists, experts, policymakers, and farmer leaders create a platform for exchange of ideas, innovations, and solutions.
Cultural Celebration: Beyond farming, the Mahotsav celebrates rural traditions, community bonding, and the dignity of the farmer.
With each passing year, the Kisan Samriddhi Mahotsav grows stronger as a national movement, creating awareness and inspiring large-scale adoption of natural farming practices across India.
