3. Kharif Sowing Updates

The Kharif season has started well with a good monsoon both in quantum of rainfall and its distribution across the growing areas. In the paddy growing areas a good harvest is expected bringing smiles to the faces of the framers. Similarly in the regions where we work with farmers to grow lentils, soybean and other oil seeds there is anticipation of a bountiful harvest.

Our extension teams have been working continuously in the field. This year the additional responsibility was given to educate the farmers, their families and the community on the precautions to keep safe against COVID 19. This includes sanitization trainings, distribution of masks and encouragement to make hand washing a habit.

Alongside the normal support to organic farmers this season we have emphasised a special focus on vermi compost, azolla and other bio input preparations. The focus of the initiative is to improve the quality and productivity of the project.
