All integrated farming projects and master units should endeavour to include some special features such as a wheat grinding machine to produce flour, a bakery to produce bread, a cheap seed distribution centre (sulabha biija vitaran'a kendra), a free plant distribution centre, sericulture, a bio-gas plant to utilize the waste of dairy cows, solar energy, apiculture and a school and children's home.

Self-reliance is the main objective of our farming projects, hence they should be oriented towards production. They should not be dependent on outside resources. An integrated approach to farming should include such areas as agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, sericulture, lac culture, apiculture, dairy farming, animal husbandry, irrigation, pisciculture, pest control, the proper use of fertilizers, cottage industries, energy production, research centres and water conservation. This approach will help make farming projects self-reliant, and should be adopted.

Throughout the world today many groups of people are in urgent need of relief. They are suffering from physical, psychic and spiritual deprivation because the different socio-economic systems in vogue only pander to particular sections of society, neglecting those in need and society as a whole.

In Marxism, for example, the state is for the welfare of the Shudras or proletariate. The non-proletariate are suppressed or oppressed. This is the rule of the Shudras, but actually there cannot be any rule of the Shudras. The very concept of proletariate dictatorship is unrealistic, impractical and unscientific, hence Marxism is a utopian ideal having no roots in the soil of reality. In 1977 there was a great change in the constitution of the USSR and it gave up its stupid bogey of proletariate rule and declared itself a welfare state.
