BASF Sanrakshan Kit For Farmer Safety

• High-quality personal protection equipment available at affordable, subsidized prices
• New kit offers enhanced protection for farmers and agricultural sprayers in the field

Mumbai, India– BASF India Limited today launched a new version of its “Sanrakshan Kit”, an affordable, high-quality set of personal protection equipment designed to encourage good agricultural practices and promote safety in the field in the presence of Shri. Ashwani Kumar, Joint Secretary (Plant Protection), Department of Agriculture & Farmer’s Welfare, Government of India.

Sanrakshan in Hindi means “protection”. BASF launched Sanrakshan Kit in 2013, to meet the safety requirements of farmers and agricultural sprayers. The kit has the additional bonus of being affordable (through subsidized pricing) and comfortable to wear.

The new kit contains an apron, trousers, a pair of nitrile gloves, particulate filter masks and protective eye wear, along with an easy-to-understand graphical instruction manual.

With a shelf life of at least two years, the kit is sufficiently robust to endure rigorous use over a single season. All the components in the kit are packed in a sturdy and compact fiberboard box, weighing less than a kilogram.

“Farmer safety is of utmost importance to ensure sustainable agricultural practices, and personal protection equipment plays a pivotal role in this. We hope that the new kit introduced by BASF will help us to achieve our goal of implementing safe agricultural practices within the farming community,” said Shri. Ashwani Kumar, Joint Secretary (Plant Protection), Department of Agriculture & Farmer’s Welfare, Government of India.

“BASF puts a strong focus on providing support and expertise to the farming community. We believe that safety is at the heart of more sustainable – and more productive – agriculture. Our Sanrakshan kits help ensure that farmers and sprayers have both the tools as well as the knowledge needed to achieve this in India,” said Rajendra Velagala, Director- Crop Protection, BASF India.

The Sanrakshan Kit supports BASF’s “Suraksha Hamesha” program, meaning “safety all the time”. The program aims to create a platform for educating farmers and agricultural sprayers about the nine steps of responsible use of agrochemicals and personal protection measures. Through Suraksha Hamesha, BASF has successfully engaged with more than 71,000 farmers and 11,800 agricultural sprayers across the country since 2016. During these meetings, BASF also involves the state and central government’s farm extension teams to support and promote farm safety.
