Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, Shailesh Jaria highlighted that the rising cases of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart attacks are often linked to contaminated and chemical-laden food. He said that the thought of unknowingly consuming harmful chemicals through everyday fruits and vegetables motivated him to take action.
Shailesh Jaria explained that the idea was to revive traditional farming methods and provide people with chemical-free and healthy food. Under the Gir Veggies brand, organic farming is carried out at 'Shaileshbhai Ni Wadi' farm located in Amrapur Gir village of Junagadh district in Gujarat. (organic farming initiative Gujarat)
The farm produces more than 30 varieties of fruits and over 50 varieties of vegetables, including mangoes, guavas, bananas, papayas, pomegranates, and jamun. In addition, grains such as wheat, millet, maize, chickpeas, and pigeon pea (tur dal) are also cultivated. The initiative aims to deliver these products directly from the farm to consumers.

Appreciating the initiative, Sangram Singh said that modern urban lifestyles have distanced people from natural and pure food. He recalled that during childhood, people often plucked fruits directly from trees and enjoyed naturally grown produce, an experience that has largely disappeared in city life.
