New Delhi: Assam on Saturday became the tenth state to join Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s Save Soil Movement.

The Assam government organised a three-day Chintan Shivir at Kaziranga that was inaugurated by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Isha Foundation’s Sadhguru.

On the first day, Sarma signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the environmental activist and yoga guru on ‘Save Soil’ movement and vowed to promote sustainable use of soil and prevent its degradation.

Speaking on the first day of the programme, Sadhguru drew attention to the need for the state to capitalise on its tourism potential for a quick yet ecologically sensitive development.
