Kota the 1st 100%
Organic Cultivation village in Madhya Pradesh!
With
HARIT PRAYAS we are able to bring a new side of development….a project with a
movement of change, lets believe a change!
Kota is the far most village
of HARIT PRAYAS in
Chatarpur, its around 100 kms from Khajuraho (our cluster office). Also its
quite difficult to reach Kota, as to reach Kota one has to cross a river and
dark forest.; generally an outsider prefer not to go to Kota and non of the
organisation or any other government institution has ever shown any interest in
the development of Kota. HARIT PRAYAS team at Satna included Kota in the project as a challenge to work in
the village and to bring out the change.
In
Kota there are altogether
35 SC and ST families and population is around 200. People living there depend
on agriculture and used to practice synthetic fertiliser based cultivation,
When HARIT PRAYAS project has started there our cluster Coordinator Mr. Virender
sen (of HARIT PRAYAS Satna team) started staying there in the village facing
all the difficulties and slowly-slowly started guiding village community on
organic cultivation. He has visited and stayed in all the 35 families and with
slow process of motivation, series of training's and demonstration in Kota,
today Kota has become the 1st 100% organic cultivation village in Madhya
Pradesh.
To
bring out this change entire credit goes to The cluster Coordinator Mr. Virender
and the HARIT PRAYAS Team at SSSS-Satna.
Now
community members are happy with the concept of organic cultivation and are
able to reduce the input cost in agriculture by 70-90%. The best part is that
saved amount they are using for the development of their houses from Kutcha to
Pucca houses and also contributing some amount for the development of village
to make it neat and clean.
Its
good experience to see such changes. Also Kota is now like a hill station, and
those who earlier do not want to visit it , now because of HARIT PRAYAS
intervention, many government institutions are visting it and there is planning
to have a small bridge over the river near by Kota ( which cuts Kota from
entire other villages in rainy season).
