Saguna Vansavrdhan Technique (SVT) is a simple, low-cost and effective technique which reduces the risk of wildfires, by converting the flammable dry grass into organic manure, promoting natural production of earthworms and soil aggregation, completely stopping soil erosion, improving water infiltration, thus regenerating greenery and biodiversity on degraded lands.

Benefits of SVT:

1. It is the most economical, least labor-intensive, easy, sustainable and assured way of reducing the risk of wildfires on hill slopes & wastelands.
2. Instead of letting tonnes of natural organic biomass burn, emitting GHG during wildfires, it is possible to convert the same into In-Situ organic manure. This will also help in Carbon Sequestration, which is a globally important issue.

It will be possible to save the juveniles of birds, rodents, crawling animals, insects, microbes, etc thus improving biodiversity. It will reduce the possible risk to the life of forest workers and volunteers during forest fires.
