Starting serenely, Viswavasu establishes a living 7R routine – meditation, reflection, yoga, walking et al. It also establishes, it appears, an extremely useful hygiene for scaling our N-work – living, farming, livelihoods, enterprises, and collectives. 18 years of Yogakshemam is being readied for print. Already e-volumes are available. Akshara Livelihoods and 7LCx are set to go forward. Volunteer force, Ikya forum, and Collective(s) of Professionals, community professionals et al may get rekindled. N-support team, NST idea, a la big-5 in N-LPRD PVM, is taking shape. More journeys, conversations, notes, classes, learning programs, stations, gurukulams, and teams are emerging. Visioning, advisories too. Soon, Nirmala would be leading Social Audit in Telangana. Srikanth is already leading in AP. NIRD starts making steps to be a self-reliant centre of excellence. IRMA becomes Tribhuvan Sahkari University – NCU. It is also time to focus on coming delimitation, and elections to states and centre.
NF Total Paradigm is fully unfolded – maximizing photosynthesis – plants, microbes, SUN – Synthetic Chemical free, 365 DGC multi-layered multiple crops. Local first. Best Practitioners as apprenticeship-based extensionists. Community (women et al) in the lead, with saptasutra agency, taking the village along. 8-12 years of village transformation – all farms, all practices, and models. Without subsidies but established benefits: reduced costs with no yield penalties, increased net incomes; land productivity, water savings, increased copping Intensity, land equivalent ratios; farmer-consumer health, nutrition, taste; diversity, resilience, and cooling.

Anwar comes on Board in RySS. Restructuring-reorganizing APCNF is coming to speed. Naren takes up anchoring the National Coalition. CRISP picks up inspiring states. NMNF came in – to go full throttle in a year. NDA – Modi, NCBN – make all right inspirations, and some resources available at state level and central levels. AP receives NMNF1, RKVY Prosperity per acre. NMNF2 is likely soon. All these take NF to all GPs in AP this year. More champions, models need to be nurtured, positioned. Far away from Rs.300,000 Crore budget need, but trickle is in – just 1%. It could go only upwards. PMPRANAM’s fertilizers’ saving funds may come this year to states. KfW fund flow appears to be streamlined.
NF Academy is crossing infancy. Team is almost there. Leadership has to come. Registration is on its way. Resources for the next phase have to come. Affiliations for Academy courses have to come. TISS, TSU? The NF University concept is sinking in. NF Policy may become public anytime soon. NF Curriculums are under consideration for inclusion. Data diligence is becoming intense. Local consumption, nutrition pick up speed. Trust/faith, traceability are being universalized. Enterprises are trickling in. Certification-market linkages processes have been set in. NCOL agreement is signed. NF seeding goes into more states. NF is spreading outside India too with increasing global appreciation.
Can we, fully expressed us living in 7R living, be in N-living, being available? Can we be more of us?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, flowing. With 7R. In N? yugaadiyoga for 7L.
