'Save Soil Movement' is a global movement to increase awareness about deteriorating soil health and bring about a conscious response to improve it, explained the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in an official statement. 

The movement was started by Sadhguru in March 2022, who embarked on a 100-day motorcycle journey passing through 27 countries, the PMO added. June 5 marks the 75th day of the 100-day journey.

"Prime Minister's participation in the programme will be reflective of the shared concerns and commitment towards improving the health of soil in India," noted the PMO.
