HARIT PRAYAS…changing lives!

This is to inform you that this morning a farmer from Chamraua village called me up and informed me that on 4th of August scientists from K.V.K (Dr. Mukesh Chand and Dr. Jialal Gupta) visited the village and saw all the 5 demo plots of Maize. 30 farmers participated in the village level meeting. The issues discussed at the village level meeting were -

a. Organic farming in the Kharif crops

b. How to save Kharif crops from insects?

c. Maize production and its use as fodder for cattle

Achievement for Harit Prayas Project

As per the Baseline survey of Harit Prayas project in the project village (Chamraua, in this case), people were not aware of any government institution like K.V.K. which supports farmers in different way. In the month of July, five farmers of chamraua village had received quality certified seed variety of Maize (ref: HYPR, Jan-June, 2012). Now on 4th of August K.V.K scientists went to the village chamraua. They observed the Maize demo plots. Farmers were happy to see scientists among them and at their farmland and they asked several questions regarding Kharif crops and organic farming.

Linking farmers with specialized Government Organisation will facilitate them to make scientific farming practices sustainable. This result has been achieved due to continuous effort of team members of Harit Prayas project of JCSS.

# Note- One must notice that how much happy the farmer, who informed me about this, was!
