Agriculture Development

We have worked with marginal and small farmers with aim of conserving water and increasing the income of farmers. In this programme we organised trainings, conducted exposure visits, and disseminated videos amongst the farmers. We trained them on zero budget technical farming, mix cropping, mulching, and low irrigation crops. Through various activities we improved the agriculture practices and increased the income of farmers. We conducted orientation and trained the farmers on using green manure for crop cultivation, improving soil health, and increase the yield of crops.  

The following were the components of the programme:

  • SRI Method
  • Water conservation
  • Soil testing
  • Vegetable production
  • Multilayer farming

Output of the programme

  • Increased incremental income of 58 farmers through SRI.
  • Saved 10,00,000 litres of water through technical farming.
  • 24 farmers were engaged in cultivation of vegetables through machan technique, and they incrementally increased their income to about ₹50,000 to ₹60,000.
