3G Agriculture

3G Agriculture is an initiative taken by NGO MAGICS as an ideology to promote, or rebuild the

bondage between the 3 generations, namely, the senior citizens, middle-aged and children. This
ideology was brought into action keeping in mind the increasing extinction of the joint-family concept.
Due to most of the families adopting the nuclear-family system, children are no more able to spend quality
time with their respective grandparents. Increasing work and expense results in children not taking care
of their old parents and instead sending them to old age homes.
3G Agriculture seeks to promote organic farming as a result to bring proximity among all the 3
generations.
The program was initially launched on 10 December, 2015, Thursday, at 2:30 pm in Sridevi Vilasam
Lower Primary School program was inaugurated by Municipality Chairperson Mrs. Ajitha Nandkumar
and Padmashri Dr. Philip Augustine handed over a sapling each to the 3G members; the senior citizens,
