Gandhi and Swadeshi: on Economic Freedom & Self Reliance 13th November 2026(Fri)- 17th November 2026(Tues)
Navdanya signifies ‘nine seeds’—a symbol of protecting biological and cultural diversity—and also the ‘new gift’ that upholds the right to save and share seeds. In an era of ecological loss, seed savers offer the ultimate gift: preserving life, biodiversity, traditional knowledge, culture, and sustainability.
