Awareness programme for organic
farming have been organized in
the villages to motivate farmers for
scientific organic farming.
Five days residential training
programme was organized at the
KVK for all beneficiaries of that
village.
Season based intensive training
programme on organic cultivation
practices of different crops was
conducted at village level.
Agro-forestry model around the
field of each farmer in the village
was developed for boosting
production of foliage to be used
as biomass resource in organic
farming
Animal shed floor in every
beneficiary’s house for efficient
collection of excreta permanent
structure of NADEP, vermi-
compost and Compost Pit etc. were
constructed for all the beneficiaries.
Plastic drums/ cans for preparation
of organic liquid manure and bio-
pesticide were distributed and
farmers were trained in preparing
different types of liquid manure
like beej sanjeevani, sasyagavya,
panchgavya and bio pesticide like
dasparni.
Marketing Support
Regarding the marketting aspects, the most serious problem faced by organic farmers was vegetable price
instability and they were not getting premium price of their organic product at early stage of production.
To overcome these problems the KVK established successful linkages between organic grower and organic
buyer like ‘NATURE CART’ after which they are getting premium price for their organic produce i.e. 10 -20
% higher than local mandi price.
Uptake, Spread and Benefits
Presently 56 farmers from these villages are doing organic farming. 29 farmers of Nagrabera village
of Angara Block are adopted under organic cluster development programme in the year 2019-20 with
financial support of KVK-TSP. Apart from the KVK had already developed organic cluster at Dhurleta and
adjacent villages Budhakocha and Piprabera in 2017. 91 farmers of these villages are certified organic
grower (certified by National Centre of Organic Farming- PGS India Organic in 2018). All these villages
are in the same route and we propose to make an organic route for easy marketting and convenience in
transportation of organic produce.
