MSS is continuously working for protection and promotion of natural resources – water, forest, land and cattle. It has formed 20 Prakrati Panchayats (nature clubs), which are active for the security and conservation of natural resources in collaboration with local gram panchayats and people.

The  organisation is building capacity of potato producers and traditional preservators so as to equip them with techniques for their self-employment. This is being done under the programme Agriculture Entrepreneur Rehabilitation Training Programme. People are being trained in availability of technology, market survey, bank loan, power connection, trade tax and income tax registration, and enterprise management. Candidates of Scheduled Castes, Backward Castes and Muslims have been given priority.

In the race of producing more grains, the farmers are indiscriminately using chemical fertilisers and pesticides. On one hand this has led to loss of soil fertility and polluted ground water, on the other this has adversely affected quality of grains, fruits, vegetables and milk. Amount of harmful chemical elements has increased so much that the common people are becoming victim of several diseases and condition of environment has become worrisome.

Organic farming is one of the ways to counter this situation. The organisation is making the farmers aware of organic farming components like nadep compost, vermicompost, microbial liquid manure, horn manure and cow urine insecticide. The farmers are being made aware that by adopting organic farming they can make their fields, their cattle and their families healthier and protect themselves from financial crisis.
