Dear Friend,
Bhima was an untoward farmer of Thep village under one of the Block of Seva Mandir’s work zone. Geographically Thep is surrounded by mountainous terrains which hinder the production of farmers, not only this but, most of the farmer like Bhima has to rely on the monsoon for irrigation. All together it was apprehensive to practice farming over there, resulting extreme of poverty that rules over. With Seva Mandir’s intervention an anicut (small dam) was built in Mithi Bor hamlet which caters the irrigational need of 11.4 hectares of land of 48 farmer’s production.
The main cropping pattern of farmers was only circled around wheat cultivation, however last year few farmers wanted to try hand at potato cultivation. It was first time for Bhima & fellow farmers to use only organic manure in potato cultivation. It was done on pilot basis on three hundred kilograms of potato seed. However farmers were pleasantly surprised by output which came to tune of Eighteen to nineteen hundred kilograms (almost 2 Tons). It was quite sufficient for Bhima and his family. Some of the produce was sold at local market too. Like Bhima many other are getting their back spark of hope, with your support.
Thank you so much.
Regards
Atul Lekhra
